What bluetooth controller do you have?
Is it already not supported by current BrcmPatchRAM Info.plist?
If your device is unsupported, attach ioreg (because then I can see which device you have) and attach .hex from Windows.

This is not as easy as it seems... I have Windows 7 X64 on a dual boot in my Mac Pro. Windows installed a generic driver which can't be overwritten by any other driver (I've tried several including Apple's own from BootCamp) so not sure what to do about it now. I guess if Apple did support it natively I wouldn't need any injector however it doesn't seem to be supported natively on Windows either. Weird... the WiFi works OOTB but not the BT 4.0 on OSX or Windows. With the generic driver Windows installed, there is no .hex file to be had from the ioreg. Any other ideas??

You need to install a proper driver.
Check station-drivers.com.

Where I could find this ioreg?
I've tried to attach .hex from Windows driver and after this, my Sierra doesn't boot anymore.
Now I'm reinstalling Sierra.

I've edited the kext file as explained in the guide but didn't work.

I've added this part in the info.plist, based on what I understood of the guide.

Code: 
<key>0930_0223</key>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.no-one.BrcmPatchRAM</string>
            <key>DisplayName</key>
            <string>BCM94352Z PCI NGFF WiFi/BT combo card</string>
            <key>FirmwareKey</key>
            <string>BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1457_v5553</string>
            <key>IOClass</key>
            <string>BrcmPatchRAM</string>
            <key>IOMatchCategory</key>
            <string>BrcmPatchRAM</string>
            <key>IOProviderClass</key>
            <string>IOUSBDevice</string>
            <key>idProduct</key>
            <integer>0930</integer>
            <key>idVendor</key>
            <integer>0223</integer>
        </dict>

I'm felling like this:

Does it work on High Sierra?

Unfortunately there are no drivers listed on that website for the BCM94360CD, so we seem to have hit a brick wall on that one.

You need to look for drivers based on product/vendor id.
