I've been trying to get my Dolphinbar to work in Dolphin, I know the device itself is working because the Wiimote is syncing to the bluetooth, works in keyboard and mouse mode and game controller mode 3, but Dolphin will not detect the device at all. I've tried different versions of Dolphin, tried uninstalling the drivers, tried connecting to different usb ports, absolutely everything I've tried doesn't fix the problem.

Is it set to mode 4 and did you actually try it in a game or did you just look under the controller options?
Cause Dolphin will always say: "A supported Bluetooth device could not be found" there with a Dolphinbar but it will work regardless, it only finds normal Bluetooth adapters there, they should really change that some time if a Dolphinbar is detected so people don't get confused, i tried around for half an hour before i started a game and noticed the Dolphinbar was working.

Yes I have it set to mode 4, and yes I have tried it in game as well and it is not working.

Did you update the Firmware and are you using a original Wiimote?
Most knock off Wiimotes will not work with the Dolphinbar that includes the chinese fakes looking like real Wiimotes.

I've already tried contacting Mayflash and they aren't able to help me with this issue.  My only hope is on this end.

Are you really sure the Wiimote is not a fake? A lot of those looked pretty much perfectly like real Wiimotes and work like one on a real Wii  just not in Dolphin with a Dolphinbar.

They also work fine in Dolphin with other Bluetooth adapters using the Bluetooth Passthrough option (doesn't work on a Dolphinbar unfortunately) so maybe if you have another Bluetooth adapter somewhere give that a try as well.

It's the same Wiimote that came with my Wii when I purchased it.  It's not a fake.

Ok well my only other idea is some other device interfering with it like some other bluetooth adapter, a DS4 or 360/one pad for example.
