    Whats works:
    - LAN and Bluetooth
    - Keyboard Keys Light
    - Trackpad (with some issues - cant dragging with two fingers)
    - Audio ALC 236 (with keyboard hotkeys)
    - HDMI (with sound but without volume option)
    - Screen brightness (with keyboard hotkeys but not Fn11-12 like on Lenovo, use Fn-Pause+ScrLk - remapped by Prefs/Keyboard/Shortcuts/ to F11-12 without Fn)
    - Camera
    - Card reader
    - Touch Screen (only for one finger)
    - Battery management
    
    Also possible updates from AppStore
    
    Whats does not works:
    - WiFi - I`m using USB wifi module, but still find new wifi module for Lenovo M.2 slot
    - Trackpad works with gestures, but dragging only with one finger - it is not comfortably
    
    
    That`s all, if you will install it too, let`s make up other problems together!

1) You'll need to remove the wifi whitelisting before you could replace the wifi card with a DW1560 or DW1830, unless you could find one that's Lenovo branded.

2) Try adding EDID to fix the reboot issue upon wake from sleep

 

Note :- HDMI Audio in control via the HDMI display / TV, not from the Mac. 

[Tosol]

Tried now EDID method, works good with Apple RGB preset, but after sleep still reboot anyway

Fixed: Sleep and Wake works good with Macbook Air 6,1 SMBIOS

New Update:
I`m got sleep and bluetooth wake up with MaciASL dsdt patch - use Rehabman Laptops patches for Lenovo Y700

My dsdt have not errors, have nearly 200 warnings, but works anyway.

 You need to create a custom SSDT for proper functioning of USB.

 

Also, AptioMemoryFix is preferred instead of OsxAptioFix* (brings native NVRAM functionality)

[Tosol]

Yes, already changed driver to AptioMemoryFix.

 

I made dsdt.. ssdt needs too?

[black.dragon74]

You created DSDT for USB? I guess not. You need a custom SSDT to use in conjunction with USBInjectAll.kext for proper functioning of USB on macOS 10.11+
