SavageAUS Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Has anyone ever tried one of these with macOS? https://www.simplecom.com.au/simplecom-nb407-usb-bluetooth-4-0-adapter-wireless-bluetooth-dongle-with-a2dp-edr.html It states it uses broadcom chip so I'm wondering how compatible it would be.

Guest ricoc90 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Windows is the only OS mentioned as being supported, but I never had issues with any USB Bluetooth dongle in the past. The ones I've had always worked OOB so I guess it'd work with macOS too. That is, basic functionality. Most macOS functions related to Bluetooth are relying on BT 4.0 LE (Handoff and such) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334510-simplecom-nb407/#findComment-2620001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 I finally had time to purchase this today and it works with Rehabman's BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext + BrcmPatchRAM2.kext, without them bluetooth isnt displayed. Not sure if i need both kext yet. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yns6rqzjr43hsu8/Screen Shot 2018-06-25 at 5.35.15 pm.png?dl=0 It show Handoff isnt supported, is there a way to enable it?
