SOLVED - Bluetooth not working H170N-WIFI Broadcom BCM94352Z El Cap

[Jgpacc]

I have just completed the post install on H170N-WIFI build following the guide to completely.
Used all the parts as described in the list.
After doing all of the post install and rebooted I find WiFi works but bluetooth does not.
Can I get some help on this?
Thanks

Do you see the bluetooth controller in System Information->USB?

Hi,
Are you referring to About this Mac>System Report>USB?
If yes, I see USB 3 Bus and in it I've got:
-BCM20702A0
-USB Optical Mouse
-Dell USB Keyboard

I reckon BCM20702A0 is the bluetooth?

Yes. Did you install BrcmPatchRAM2.kext + BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext?

What is the vendor/device-id?

Yes. Did you install BrcmPatchRAM2.kext + BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext?

What is the vendor/device-id?

Yes, I installed those two. The hardware seems like it's detected but the bluetooth device search list shows no bluetooth devices and also it can't be found by other devices, e.g by my phone.
Here's what I have:

I have not applied the patch. So I guess I will proceed to do that.
This is what i get from system report USB

I tried installing the 2 patches. Found that BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext was already there so i put BrcmPatchRAM2.kext into
System/Library/Exensions. I go a system error saying I improperly installed it so it won't be used. Not sure what I did wrong.

did you try installing the kext using a kext installer? I used Kext Wizard

OK! Just did that, thank you, now bluetooth almost works. I see it now. It just won't pair.

Kexts cannot be installed with Finder. Use a kext installer.
