MetalMatrix Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 How and where do you add a BT dongle device ID and vendor ID to the IOBluetoothFamily.kext? I have a Logitech BT Dongle and read if you add the ID to the kext, OSX will pick it up as a bluetooth device properly. *This was easy for my video card but not sure where to input the information for the bluetooth device. Trying to connect my Logitech Dinovo Keyboard, numerical pad and mouse. (All bluetooth) edit: found an IOBluetoothFamily.kext on the website that now detected my Logitech dongle perfectly.

MetalMatrix Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think this solution was only for the Logitech Bluetooth device. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77179&view=findpost&p=549249 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91401-adding-bt-device-id/#findComment-684193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalMatrix Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 This is the kext I used for my Logitech bluetooth dongle. I used Kext Helper to install. I had to restart after. Bluetooth didn't work until I unplugged my USB dongle waited a few seconds and plugged it back in while holding the "Connect" button. If I didn't hold the button then it just worked as a wireless 2.4Ghz module instead of the bluetooth standard. All that was a 1 time procedure. After restarts now, the dongle comes up as Bluetooth. http://dmtrx.ca/IOBluetoothFamily.kext.rar Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91401-adding-bt-device-id/#findComment-814910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ajob Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I can confirm that this kext helped me instantly with a cheap little USB bluetooth dongle that suddenly stopped working at 10.5.6 ... USB Device Name = ISSCEDRBTA Product ID: 0x1004 Vendor ID: 0x1131 Version: 3.73 Manufacturer: ISSC Definitely fixed the 'hang while pairing' issue for me.

Rebeca Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 hi Metal Matrix, I'm looking for the kext files as well, but no luck. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Thanks MetalMatrix's http://dmtrx.ca/IOBluetoothFamily.kext.rar kext worked for me, as well on the same device. Such a cheap little bluetooth module that I can now use! It was only 10 bucks and so lo-pro. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91401-adding-bt-device-id/#findComment-1155332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

krypto Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have a Logitech MX5500 Revolution Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse ... these work fine in OSX , but with no Bluetooth functionality . I cannot connect other BT devices . I did add the Device and Vendor ID to the Broadcom kext in the IOBLUETOOTHFAMILITY.KEXT file but each time i restart the system i need to presss and hold the connnect button on the BT dongle to get it to recognize ..... any better ways to get around this ?
