Pairing PS3 BD Remote Control

I switched from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 .. unfortunately I don’t get it to pair my PS3 BD Remote Control .. it worked flawlessly with bluez/blueman (v. 1.23) from the ubuntu 14.04 repository, but it seems, that newer version of bluez/blueman (v. 2.0.4) no longer support legacy pairing without pin. (tried it over cmdline with bluetoothctl, same result).

Tested pairing with Win7 – runs fine, since windows still supports pairing without pin – other ways using a pin (0000, 1234) are reported as “not supported by device” ..

Did anybody manage to pair the PS3 remote ?
