Adding Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to hackintosh to enable Apple-specific features

When I started with my hackintosh I did not have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth support in it. I used Ethernet to connect to my home network and it worked fine, I had no need for Wi-Fi.

Later I wanted to use more “Apple-specific” features, so I started looking for how to make them work with my hackintosh.

Bluetooth

Adding Bluetooth support to a hackintosh is quite easy, you just need to buy any of these USB adapters:

All of them are natively supported in macOS, no extra drivers are needed.

GMYLE Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter

I bought the GMYLE Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter, found it on German Amazon.

Thanks to adding Bluetooth support I got:

• Ability to use Bluetooth keyboards, speakers, headphones
• SMS messages showing on macOS
• incoming phone calls showing on macOS

The SMS relying feature was really nice, especially when needing to copy security codes sent by SMS by services that do not support 2FA via TOTP.

Justa s a side note, iMessage worked right from the start, Bluetooth is not needed for it.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi required for some Apple-specific features

The one thing that I was missing was AirDrop. I started taking screenshots regularly on my iPhone during development and testing and there was no easy way to move them to the hackintosh without AirDrop.

To make AirDrop and additional features like Handoff work you need not only Bluetooth but also an internal Wi-Fi card.

Adding internal Wi-Fi to a hackintosh

Apple uses a few Wi-Fi + Bluetooth modules, like BCM943602CS or BCM94360, in their computers and the same modules can be directly bought. You can the buy a PCIe card to connect those modules to your motherboard.

There are a few companies that sell the PCIe card and a Wi-Fi + Bluetooth module as a complete product, sometimes you just need to search Amazon or AliExpress for “hackintosh”.

ABWB 802,11 AC WI-FI + Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM943602CS Combo Card

On AliExpress you can find the FV-T919 PCIe card.

Installation

This product contains the mentioned BCM943602CS module. You need to connect it to a PCIe slot on your motherboard (works with x1 and x4) to get Wi-Fi to work.

To get the Bluetooth to work you need to connect the provided microUSB cable from the card to a USB header on the motherboard.

Alternatively you can use a classic microUSB cable to connect it to a working USB port on the motherboard, but I have not tried that.

Features

Using this PCIe card I got

• everything that already work with just the Bluetooth adapter (that I now no longer need)
• Wi-Fi — I can now connect to my Wi-Fi network, but I still prefer Ethernet
• AirDrop — sending files between my hackintosh and iPhone
• Handoff — if I open a website in Safari on iPhone the hackintosh offers to continue look at it in desktop Firefox
• Watch unlock — my hackintosh unlocks automatically when I come close to it wearing my Apple Watch, no need to type the password
• Apple Pay in Safari — I can use Apple Pay in Safari on the hackintosh and confirm the payment on my Apple Watch

Conclusion

If you use a hackintosh then adding Wi+Fi and Bluetooth support can enable you to use all the Apple-specific features. You just need to spend some time looking for the right hardware.

    Usb bluetooth адаптер hackintosh

    Hey, did the info in the system info change after you updated? or does the dongle just work now. I guess what im getting at is other than bluetooth working is there any visual indication it works? are there any infos in system info about bluetooth 4.0 support, etc?

    The thing with my problem is that the dongle does not work at all by default. I can see if detected as a USB device but that’s it. OS X does not by default recognize it as a Bluetooth device without the kext hack. Once the hack is done, the Bluetooth info in the System Information shows the Bluetooth device information and obviously it’s working now. Here’s the extract from my System Information on the Bluetooth device:- Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 4.0.5f11

    Ken, great post. Other than verifying your System Information as shown above, have you tried actually connecting to a Bluetooth 4 peripheral with this dongle after the configuration?

    Step-by-Step: Installing macOS Compatible Bluetooth USB Dongle

    Looking for an easy to install Bluetooth USB dongle for your Mac or Hackintosh PC — I recommend the Broadcom BCM20702 Chipset. It’s readily available used by many dongles, inexpensive and works easily without drivers. But you need to install some software just to enable it.

    Here are my step-by-step instructions!

    

    In my case the integrated AirPort Extreme card was broken on the Macbook Pro. This is a combo card with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combined — (1) Wi-Fi would work for a while and then turn itself off until restart, (2) Bluetooth would keep randomly turning off and back on, making it impossible to use any Bluetooth device. So I decided to get a cheap external adapter instead of paying for expensive replacement work.

    Note that I have El Capitan (10.11.6 at the time of writing) but this will most probably work with earlier versions of the macOS.

    

    I purchased a Broadcom BCM20702 equipped USB Bluetooth Adapter which went under the brand name “GMYLE” (although received dongle says “Succul”).

    I noticed that with a lot of compatible dongles you don’t see Mac compatibility listed. But it’s safe to ignore that, as long as you have a supported chipset in your hands. Mine actually says on the back of the box that it’s Mac OS compatible.

    

    

    Required Software

    First you need to install: Xcode (the OS X developer tools). Then an additional tools package that contains the “Bluetooth Explorer” app, which is needed to activate the “Host Controller”.

    (1) First — grab Xcode over here if it’s not already installed. Apple ID is required for both downloads (1) (2).

    

    (2) Second — go to the “Downloads for Apple Developers” section and search for Xcode. Or use this direct link to get there. Look for the version of the tools package that corresponds to your version of Xcode. Previously the package has been called “Hardware IO Tools” but since Xcode 8 it’s just “Additional Tools”.

    

    Note: “Additional Tools for Xcode 8” supports only macOS Sierra. So if you are on El Capitan or other older version, you might consider sticking with Xcode 7.

    Open up Bluetooth Explorer and go to Tools –> HCI Controller Selector.

    

    You should see the Broadcom Corp chip within the list of host controllers. Pick the right one and “Activate”. And you are done!

    

    Bluetooth mouse gets immediately connected.

    How is this working for macOS 10.13 High Sierra in 2023? Let me know!

    Please, also let us know the setup that’s working for you.
    Or is the Bluetooth USB dongle not working? Leave your problems below.

    Also I’d likely kindly note my readers, that some of these guides and posts on Elftronix are affiliated with other companies and the services they provide. This could potentially result in financial benefit.

    Sincere thank you for reading and supporting me! David.
