Delete the kext in /Extra/Mini9Ext and regenerate the kext cache (you can use UpdateExtra for that).

First i have an europian Dell Mini (netherlands) and the Product ID and Vendor ID are the same as in starting post.
Ran your script and this was the outcome:

Mac-Mini-van-Niek:~ Niek$ /Users/Niek/Downloads/bluetooth_patcher.sh

<snip>
------
Bluetooth module with Vendor id 16700 and device id 688 added
Please reboot for changes

Rebooted, but turn bluetooth off is still grayed out.
The BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext does exist in the /Extra/Mini9Ext folder now with correct IDS.
Also it says: Bluetooth module with Vendor id 16700 and device id 688 added which seems to be incorrect.

It looks like the script couldn't find your device in the io registry, so It tried to use the values the the OP used.
There also was an error with sed that I'll look at.

I'm confused about what you mean by your last statement and your second statement (that the id's are correct, yet they are wrong).

It also looks like I'll have to be patched in place or I'll have to find out what other extensions are needed to to satisfy the dependencies for the bluetooth kext.

Sorry for being confused, English is not my first language.
What I am trying to explain is:
My Device ID is 33301 and vendor ID 1452
The Succesfull message in the terminal is saying: vendor id 16700 and device id 688
So this seems to be incorrect for me. Am I wrong?

So the best way to do this for now is manually edit the plist? Or should i wait for an updated version?
Thanks!

If your vendor id is 1452, that means that the bluetooth module came from apple, and as such you do not need to patch the kext.
The terminal message said that it couldn't find a usb device connected to you mini 9, so it used the defaults that were given in the original post.

You are correct. I must have switched all the ids in my head :? .
It is indeed vendor id 16700 and device id 688 so your script did its job good.

Hope you can use my information and terminal log anyway. I am looking forward to a new improved script.

[meklort]

Well, here the same script but it will patch the kext in the /S/L/E directory (it makes a backup first).

Could I get someone who has a bluetooth module to geve me an ioreg dump by running the command

ioreg -w0 -l > ioreg_dump.txt

That way I can make sure the script reads the correct information.

Here is my ioreg dump.

If it helps for surveying purposes, here is another one.

Stock BT, switched ON in bios.

I ran your updated script but the Turn off function is still grayed out.
This is my terminal:
Niek$ /Users/Niek/Downloads/bluetooth_patcher.sh
Unable to locate bluetooth module, using default vendor 16700
Unable to locate bluetooth module, using default device 688
sed: 1: "/System/Library/Extensi ...": invalid command code L

I have bios A04, Dellefi 1.1 and stock bluetooth enabled in bios.

I don't know why sed is returning an error (then again this is the first time I've used it), it doesn't on my macbook and I cant really test it on the mini because I don't have a bluetooth module.

Try running this in the terminal (after you backup the kext first).

sudo sed -i "s/1452/16700/g" /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext/Contents/Info.plist
sudo sed -i "s/33301/688/g" /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Giving the error: sed: 1: "/System/Library/Extensi ...": invalid command code L

Edit: I did manual editing on the file as discribed in the start post. Trashed the mkext and rebooted but the on/off option is still greyed out.
Losing hope on this...
