BCM943602CS - Bluetooth not finding any devices

[Jaggy]

Hey guys,

A few days ago I received my BCM943602CS combo adapter from eBay containing the PCI adapter and USB-D adapter
See this image.

I succesfully connected the adapter and WiFi works oob and Bluetooth too, but it cannot find any devices/keyboards.
I already tried some kexts like GenericUSBXHCI.kext, USBInjectAll.kext, FakePCCID, FakePCCID_USB and renaming EHC1/2 to EH01/2 but apart from having working USB 3.0 it still doesnt work.

Could anyone help me out here?

Thanks!

Antenna issue?

 

[Jaggy]

Nope, tried other antenna's from a working TP-link and still not finding any devices.

Other hardware problem?
Test hardware on Windows.

I tested the BCM943602CS in Windows. WiFi is working by downloading drivers and Bluetooth was recognised as Bluetooth Host Controller with a yellow (!). So I installed the right bluetooth bootcamp 6.0 drivers and he recognises my Mi Band 2 but no other devices... still, I can't pair to the Mi Band 2.

Would you mind to have a look at my config.plist, maybe I did something wrong that prevents loading bluetooth.

 

[Jaggy]

I don't see any of these options?
The only options I see are: (Translated)
Make diagnostic rapport on desktop
Turn Bluetooth off
Send file to device
Search through files on device
Open Bluetooth preferences

 

[Jaggy]

I tried and it still doesn't find my Xbox wireless controller or Apple keyboard (both confirmed working on iPhone and Android phone, just to be sure).

This is the log of today, I just redid your steps today.

Yes, I used the wire cable and it fully connects because the green led light is lighting.

I have this issue as well, did you ever find a solution?

My machine is dual boot and BT works fine in Windows so I know the card works.

 

[UtterDisbelief]

I have one of these and think @RehabMan is correct. It's more than likely an antenna problem.

Of the three aerial inputs on the card none are marked for what they are - at least as far as I can see.

I found that the supplied aerials were pretty much useless, generic types, so I bought a Gigabyte external, magnetic aerial that has two feeds (it's supplied by them with their own Intel chipped card). With this on my desktop I then swapped the cables between the antenna sockets to get the best signal. My case is metal and below the height of the home router. In the end the 2.4ghz radio and BlueTooth needed the extensions. (For the third socket I found a spare, extra-large aerial in my parts box and used that.)

If it helps anyone, here are the aerial pin-outs for the BCM943602CS card:
