Default Bluetooth visibility

A week or two ago someone on the street tried to connect to my Fiesta's Bluetooth system with his phone. Needless to say I was not impressed when the audio lady asked me to input the pairing code.

Is there any way to make the Bluetooth system not discoverable to any other phone/Bluetooth system other than the ones already paired with it?

Seriously? Nobody knows anything in regards to this? It's kind of scary from a security perspective and just annoying when people in the city try to connect to my car.

Not that I'm aware of sorry matey. If they're close enough, anyone can try and connect. They won't be able to connect without the correct pin, so good luck to them I say. Nothing too serious to worry about.

If my car is on, and I walk away, the BlueTooth stays active for a good 10 meters before disconnecting.
