UPDATE:

I created my own bluez 5.43 unsigned packages and installed them.
The issue is still present.

Here are the steps I took:

It was suggested that bluez 5.4 fixes the issue. However, that package is not available for ubuntu 16.04. I was able to build my own unsigned and upgradable package using the following steps and I have bluez 5.43. Still does not connect though.

sudo apt-get install debhelper devscripts dh-autoreconf flex bison libdbus-glib-1-dev libglib2.0-dev libcap-ng-dev libudev-dev libreadline-dev libical-dev check dh-systemd libebook1.2-dev
