MP 1,1-5,1 Bluetooth does not work after installing Ventura with OCLP.

Make sure your connections to the Bluetooth Wifi Cards are Correct + make sure the antenna connectors were not damaged & insulate any wires that are open and dangling.

Then do an NVRAM clear - reboot - hold down [CMD]+[OPT] + P+R for the time of (4) chimes
Download the latest OC - Then do a OCLP rebuild & Install.
This worked for me.

I'll try swapping out the extension cables that came with the kit however I've tried NVRAM clear and no luck as well as re-running the post install patches.

if you're referring to the kext solution, it appears that it's not listed in my plist so unfortunately that won't work for me.

Thanks !!
Bluetooth fixed by clearing NVRAM that is all it needed.
power down reboot - while booting hold these 4 keys [CMD]+[OPT] + P+R for 3 chimes and Bluetooth works now on iMac 27" mid-2011 Mac 12,2 Sonoma 14.1 + OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.2.0 + maxed out memory to 32GB + 2TB SSD
Able to connect to Bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard again. Awesome !! Love OCLP

I hope I’m posting this in the right place—if not, feel free to move it.

After weeks of trial and error, I finally got my BCM94360CD (upgraded Bluetooth and WiFi module) working again on my Mac Pro 5,1 under Sonoma 14.7.4 with OCLP 2.2.0—without any USB 2.0 lane.

What I did:


• I used two SSDs:
• One to install High Sierra, which I kept.
• One for the Sonoma system I’m using now.
• I completely erased both disks, including the EFI partitions.


• I installed High Sierra on one disk (set the date to 2017, unplugged the internet connection, and formatted the disk as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)).


• I installed OCLP 0.6.8 on this disk.


• Then, I installed Ventura on the second SSD (booting OCLP from the High Sierra disk).


• I installed OCLP 2.2.0 on the Ventura disk → still no Bluetooth after rebooting into Ventura with OCLP 2.2.0.


• I upgraded to Sonoma 14.7.4 → still no Bluetooth.


• I booted into Sonoma, installed OCLP 2.2.0 without rebooting and installed OCLP 1.4.3, rebooted and applied Root Patches.


• It automatically installed KDK Build 23H420 → after rebooting, Bluetooth was back!


• I then simply upgraded from OCLP 1.4.3 to 2.2.0 again, and Bluetooth still works.


It was a confusing process, but it’s finally working!
I also took a screenshot of my kexts and system info—hope it helps.

Kind regards,
