iPhone XS Unknown Bluetooth connection

I see this BT connection on my iPhone that I don’t recognize. Any idea what this may be? I recently purchased a Mac mini, is it the phone connection to the mini?

Is your Mac mini named as 42220-241? Do you have any other electronic devices with Bluetooth capability that might have this name? (e.g. Car, TV, headphones, etc.)

Do you have any smart devices apps that you are using? That could be why you see a device that is connected in your Bluetooth list.

Bluetooth doesn’t travel very far. It’s a device very close to you.

Nope, have given it a name I can identify. I am wondering if it is the wireless carplay adapter. Will unplug the adapter from the car and check.

I thought so too, but usually there’s the ‘i’ icon next to it to disable it, this one doesn’t, which is kinda weird

If you have a device connected through an app the “i” will not show.
