Bluetooth: BCM20702A0 - Asus Maximus V formula - Mountain Lion

Hello,
Got my first setup working, except the wifi and bluetooth card.
I don't really need to wifi to work, but I would really love to have my Broadcom mPCI working so I can connect my new apple bluetooth keyboard.

I've already tried DSDT for my motherboard, but they don't seem to help. I've edited the IOBluetoothFamily >BroadcomBluetoothHCIControllerUSBTransport kext and changed the product and vendor ID but it won't work. (think cuz I replaced it with an old one by accident)

I also got a message from mac osx telling me that this kext doesn't work for my machine, if someone would be kind enough to give me a clean kext or even a kext that already has the right product ID en vendor ID in it would be nice.
Referring to this error: "“/System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.""

Still working out on how this all works, so please correct me if I am doing something incorrect.

Under bluetooth I get the following message: 'No information found.'
But I found it under USB ->USB Hi-speed bus -> hub ->BCM20702A0

Yes and this referes to the noshy guide I tried like I mentioned in my first post, but after a restart it doesn't seem to work.

I think it's because I replaced my IOBluetoothFamily for an older version, persumably Lion instead of my own current version Mount Lion.

Could you or someone else that has a working recent version IOBluetoothFamily.kext post it here?

Wasted a lot of time; too bad you did not check your work. The reason it doesn't work is the values for product and device are reversed. See Post #3.

I couldn't believe it at first, because I did a copy and past into the plist file.
So I reconverted my product and vendor ID and I got the same values, re-pasted it swaped them and like you said reverse them (9606 and 1282) but no use.
I even did it multiple times, removing it and putting it back etc but no result.

Nearly every time after I rebooted and was editing the plist file I got this error I mentioned before (attached to the post): "The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."

hopefully it helps my problem, sorry to hear that you wasted your time... Checked my work but I can't see what I would've done wrong, maybe I'm still overseeing it..

To be sure, but I got the same convertion.

To speedup the progress I've looked up the log file from me booting with the kext.
And this is what jumps out for me, but maybe somebody sees more into it:

You are not installing the edited kext properly; any change made in S/L/E requires repairing permissions and rebuilding cache. Use KextBeast, Kext Utility, etc.
