Updated with the LRZT 4.2 kit, took a while to hook it up and get recognized, noticed a loose connection and that fixed it. Updating from Sonoma to Sequoia, hope it goes well. I also looked at the China version from HonTec. Much more complicated to hookup than the German version related to BTooth wiring. The German version was more expensive. I'm going to selll the Chinese one on eBay. If anyone wants it here, please let me know.

I may disagree.The installation of china version from HonTech has been easy and the bluetooth connection hasn't been hard to do and is muuuuuch cheaper than german version to buy for a device outdated long time ago. In my opinion.

Is the honTech 4.0 or 4.2 BT?

Is the honTech 4.0 or 4.2 BT?

I think is 4.0 BT.(Not sure because I' m not at home)

It’s 4.0, but if they come out with an updated version, it’s easy enough to swap out

 

[georgeimac]

I opted for 4.2 because of speed. The cheaper version of 4.0 would have saved some money. I also have security concerns with these items and avoid whenever possible, despite the extra cost.

Try modifying the config.plist of OCLP I use Opencore Configurator with-

NVRAM > 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 section in your config.plist file and add the two child items:-

Key	Type	Value
bluetoothInternalControllerInfo	Data	00000000 00000000 00000000 0000
bluetoothExternalDongleFailed	Data	00

Reboot and Reset NVRAM then boot again normally

My imac2011, 27, a1312, with oc sequoia 15.1, also encountered the same problem when installing bcm943602cdp. The wifi can be used but the bluetooth cannot be used. Can you give me a detailed repair method? Thank you.
