Hi, all. I recently bought the WiFi/Bluetooth upgrade kit from OSXWIFI and followed their instructions (as well as those videos I could find online) to a T.
However, while WiFi is working fine, there is NO Bluetooth connectivity and NO Bluetooth showing up in system information.
I’ve attached some pics of my setup. Is there maybe something I’m missing? Any help is appreciated.

It’s odd no one has commented here.
With blue tooth power/data? cable being the new plug in type it hard to get wrong.
Unlike the older solider types.

the antenna cable, is the whole cable new or does it plug into the old one?
Is it shrink wrapped? As to not short out on the back plain?
About all I can think of here.

May just be a bad Bluetooth module?
 
Not really on your question, but how did you connect the antenna connectors to the board....(the small gold pieces...) I was unable to connect the snaps at all on mine..theres so little space in there to get your fingers in...? Did you remove the fans etc or just the processor tray? I got one or two of the wires snaps to pop in place but the others I couldn't get to work so I abandoned the project..!

I am having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out?

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for your problem. You might want to post your question in the following thread, more likely to get feedback there.
