UPDATE 5:

Bluetooth 4.0 is now working as well. You have to enable the ASUS G750JX broadcom bluetooth IDs in BroadcomBluetoothTransport kext. We are fortunate because the Bluetooth in this laptop is BCM4352 so it's compatible fully with OSX Mavericks.

To enable go:
0. Find the IOBluetoothFamily.kext in S/L/E and copy it to desktop
1. Show Package Contents on it
2. Go into Plugins and show package on BroadcomBluetoothTransport
3. Open info.plist file and locate this entry:

<key>Broadcom2045FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController_P </key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostContr ollerUSBTransport</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTranspor t</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOUSBDevice</string>
<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>33293</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>1452</integer>
</dict>

4. Right above this entry and after

<key>IOKitPersonalities</key>
<dict>

(So in between those put the following)

<key>Broadcom2046FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController_3 404</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostContr ollerUSBTransport</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTranspor t</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOUSBDevice</string>
<key>LMPLoggingEnabled</key>
<false/>
<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>13316</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>5075</integer>
</dict>


5. This is it, SAVE and use Kext Wizard or similar to install and overwrite the existing IOBluetoothFamily.kext in S/L/E

6. Reboot and voila.. You have Bluetooth 4.0

Another guide for this Laptop wants me to run
Code: 
[COLOR=#444444][FONT=dejavu sans mono]perl -pi -e 's|\x41\x83\xFC\xFF\x74\x2C\x48|\x66\xC7\x06\x55\x53\xEB\x2B|g' /Extra/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/MacOS/AirPortBrcm4360[/FONT][/COLOR]

I also found the following:

http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2925-bluetooth-firmware-uploader/

But I am unsure as to which is the preferred method
 
Welp.. Just tried all of those. None will let me connect my iPhone... Still says

"Liberty" is not supported.

Bluetooth works, it just wont connect to the one device I would use it for..

The iPhone is not really paired to Macs anyway. It uses BT4LE for handoff/etc. It is based on connection to same iCloud account. You can read about it in Apple's OS X documentation.
 
Knock requires bluetooth :/
