The company that sells it to you either supports it or they don't. You can't just 'figure out' a device driver. They don't divert you to Forums like this where you have to collaborate with people and try to figure it out yourself. Plugable also gets in touch with you quickly. Pluggable sells you a solution, not an unsupported piece of junk like Best Buy. The difference is that Best Buy doesn't care about you once they get your money, and Plugable does. Since BCM20702A0 under Other Devices showed up when I first plugged the Plugable adapter in, it appears that both the Best Buy Insignia one and the Plugable one use the same chip.

With their driver installed, the BCM20702A0 under 'Other Devices' disappeared and all the right things appeared under 'Bluetooth' in the Device Manager.

They have a great website where they offer drivers that got me up and running in just a few minutes with no hiccups, other than it wasn't plug & play. They have motivated customer service people who will help you resolve problems. The solution: Buy the Plugable USB Bluetooth adapter from Amazon. I left that piece of garbage on the customer service counter at Best Buy when they refused to exchange it or provide any kind of support. When I needed to do a reinstall, Windows couldn't find the driver and both Broadcom and Best Buy washed their hands of it. I bought an Insignia Bluetooth usb adapter from Best Buy. The source of the problem is companies selling you garbage and refusing to support it. It installed, but nothing about Bluetooth appeared in the Device Manager and the BCM20702A0 device in the 'Other Devices' area still reported that it didn't have a driver. If you have helpful comments to solve this problem please post it there: If neither of these options work, you can download it from my GitHub mirror here HOWEVER you really shouldn’t trust mirrors for this kind of thing, always download drivers from trusted websites, not mirror downloads put up by some random guy on the internet like me.I tried the sp74543.exe driver with my bluetooth adapter and it didn't work.

This post is getting a lot of traffic so I’m going to move it to medium to increase its SEO and hopefully help more people.

The driver should download and you should see Bluetooth in your device manager.

Select “browse my computer for drivers” and select the folder with the extracted cabinet file.

Open your device manager, right click on “Bcm20702a0” and select update driver.If you don’t see an extract button just enter the cabinet file with windows explorer by double clicking then drag/drop the files out of the window to a new folder. Extract the cabinet file you just downloaded.If that’s the case then repeat these steps in another browser, I used Edge. If it’s not downloading it’s probably because Chrome recognizes the file as potentially malicious. Click the download button (I just used the top most recent result) and click on the download link from the pop up.Search “Broadcom Corporation driver update for Micro size USB to Bluetooth Dongle”.The direct download link likely won’t work on Chrome, it also may just 404 over time.* Or attempt to use this direct download link and skip to step 4.

So you needed a quick Bluetooth adapter, went to BestBuy, and picked up an insignia adapter model NS-PCY5BMA? But now it’s not working despite its advertisement as “plug and play”? And the manual is no help at all? Then you went looking for a driver but the Insignia website has nothing? Then you find out that it uses Broadcom hardware and their website says all their drivers are part of windows updates but obviously it isn’t installed by default? Well you’re lucky you’ve found this obscure blog on the internet.
