Hello, I'm not very familiar with Hackintosh yet and installed MacOS Sonoma on my PC yesterday. Everything works fine but my Bluetooth adapter (UGREEN bluetooth 5.0 adapter) doesn't work and I only have a LAN connection so no WiFi and therefore no AirDrop. After reading a bit, I realized that I needed a WiFi and Bluetooth adapter and wanted to buy the Fenvi T919, but it is to expensive and I read that it doesn't work very well with AirPods (poor quality, speakers and microphone don't work at the same time) and I need an original Apple adapter.

My question: I found this BCM94360CS2 adapter on Amazon, can I just install it in my motherboard? And do I also have Bluetooth with it? because I don't have a connection for a Bluetooth cable such as with the T919 which you then plug into a mainboard USB header. And does this adapter work in MacOS Sonoma that I have WiFi, Bluetooth and AirDrop and can also connect my AirPods Pro with good sound quality? And if so, do I need any kexts for this?

The Apple WiFi/BT card won’t work natively in your PC. You will need a PCIe adapter for the Broadcom WiFi/BT card to work in your desktop system. One like this adapter from Amazon UK.


It comes with a cable for connecting the Bluetooth module to an internal USB header.

As Apple dropped support for the BCM4360xxx series of WiFi/BT cards in macOS Sonoma the only way to implement an older Broadcom card is to use the OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) Root patches, as linked above by @Feartech .
