Impossible to 'connect'

Is this issue still really going on from post from 3 years ago, Ive spent 3 hours trying all different ways to try and connect this stupid machine to my Garmin Connect. It finds it, you get the code then it fails to connect. 

I've disabled bluetooth and let the Garmin app able it, restarted phone, app, bluetooth, deleted other devices.  But it just wont do it and Ive tried 3 different devices.  Any solutions anyone please?

This thing is literally a paperweight until it connects. Dumbest thing Garmin have ever made.

If I hadn't literally just paid for it, id be throwing it off a cliff. Slight smile
