I know that this is an old thread but having gone (and seen others go) through a labyrinthine maze of conflicting advice and inadequately-described parts, I wanted to share my research with others who may find themselves in the same situation. The JST GH connectors are not the correct connector, as Alan Miller pointed out above. I wound up getting the design drawings for the JST and comparing them with Apple’s bluetooth connector.
The bluetooth header on the backplanes of classic 4,1 and 5,1 Mac Pros is a Molex PicoBlade 4-circuit, 1.25mm-pitch header. A perfect cable (black wires, 12" long with the appropriate PicoBlade connector) can be obtained from Digi-Key (Part # WM15259-ND) for about $3.61 as of this writing. The Molex part number for this cable is: 0151340403
I used it to save over $100 by buying my BCM94360CD for about $35, the cable for $3.61 and an antenna for $18, rather than the kits that currently range from $120 - $215.
