can USB3 cable interfere with Bluetooth module in a Mac Mini?
#5
I had a 2012 mini and installed the OWC fix and still had problems. I currently have an upgraded MacPro 2010 that has a USB 3 card installed and the internal bluetooth is almost unusable. I put a USB bluetooth dongle on an extension cable and move it far away from the Pro and things seem much better.

You might be able to get a bluetooth 4 dongle and do the same thing with the mini. Why USB 3 passed testing is beyond me- I have had all sorts of problems. Apple has a bluetooth utility that allows you to select the active bluetooth radio- internal or dongle.

Here's the IBM white paper:
