Alex HQuest Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Since the "Unlock with Apple Watch" relies on Bluetooth, and Bluetooth on non-Airport cards is enabled by BrcmPatchRAM, is the Unlock with Apple Watch feature supposedly enabled for non-Airport cards active with BrcmPatchRAM? Asking for a friend that has this feature working with an Apple iMac Airport card on his iHack, but a regular DW1830 on his Dell Hackbook Pro, according to my, er, his signature...

Alex HQuest Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Thanks @Hervé. Yeah, typos happens - DW1830 is correct (been dealing with way too many other product numbers lately). I was after someone to confirm it does work on their non-Apple Wireless/BT adapter. Auto-Unlock mode is available, yes (see spoiler below). As stated, the feature works with real Apple hardware but not with the 3rd party wireless adapter. I understand wireless is explicit on Apple's "Unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch" article page, but they also briefly mention "Bluetooth", and we know about the hiccups to get a non-Apple Bluetooth adapter to work on macOS, let alone to work as close as the native device. I'll try to poke around a little further. Thanks, though! Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
