Trying to Connect to BLE Device for Bonding/ANCS

I don't think so, I've tried having everything else turned off to reduce the various BLE options in the room, from what I can see the iPhone just doesn't accept unsolicited connections.
Over the weekend I got ANCS working on an Arduino with an nRF 8001 board as there are some pre-built libraries for that (also the contest I'm working on is Arduino centered so I need to use that!)
It looks as if the Arduino is advertising some other services (battery etc) which the iPhone then sees in the Bluetooth devices and I can initiate the connection from the iPhone at which point the Arduino requests pairing (bonding)
I'll need to go back and take a look at the services it advertises to see if I can re-create these on the Puck.
This is the xml file that the nRF uses to expose services, I'm guessing this might make sense to you?
