Mar 14, 2015 7:46 AM in response to luis276by BDWilliams,Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. I have a MBP 15" Late 2011 running Yosemite. I have been wanting to use AirDrop between my iPhone and my MacBook for a while. I was hesitant to crack open my MacBook again to replace the card (I replaced the RAM and added a second SSHD a few years ago), then saw the info about dongle support. I bought the ASUS USB-BT400 and installed the Continuity Activation Tool and it's worked flawlessly so far. I confirmed the settings required, restarted my MacBook, logged out and back into iCloud, and restarted both devices for good measure. I was able to successfully test AirDrop from iPhone to MBP and Handoff both ways. I also tried an app called Tether to support proximity locking, but it didn't work consistently. So far so good with the main features.

May 7, 2015 6:43 AM in response to sandervknby jmaeser82,Thank you so much for confirming this and taking the plung for all of us. A huge help!!
Question though. You linked to this model: http://www.os-store.com.de/broadcom-apple-bcm4331-bcm20702-bt-wlan-card-module-a 1278-a1286-a1297-661-5867-607-7291-607-8792.html
That model is $20 USD but differs from the model you said you received which you pasted the model number of: BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX
That model is $80 USD.
Which one did you end up using? $20 is a great bargain to get Bluetooth 4.0 but $80 may be a different story.
In Summary:
$20 - BCM94331PCIEBT4AX
$80 - BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX
Thanks again for your contributions to this site!!

Jul 25, 2016 7:28 AM in response to luis276by Juliokfromsp,Check BCM94331PCIEBT4AX 607-7291 is 2.1 version, but 607-7292 can be 4.0
