Continuity and Handoff Capable Apple Mini Cards + PCIe and mini-PCIe Adapters

[Douirc]

Just wanted to mention that newegg has the fenvi T919 in stock currently & at a discount $54.99 for those who want one. I just purchased it a couple of days ago and both wifi and Bluetooth worked OOB on my Asus z97m plus still running 10.12.6. Handoff and continuity working fine too. The plus side is you don't have to wait a month like the ebay route because it ships from CA.

bought the card and added it to my existing 10.13.6 installation. wifi and bt working great but handoff and continuity not working. do i need to run the fix script or do something else? does it only work OOTB if you do a fresh install? i'm logged into icloud account on comp and iphone and handoff working on my macbook but not on my imac clone.

Hello, dear veterans, I am a newbie of Hackintosh. I am going to assemble my first hacintosh system. I plan to buy GIGABYTE H370M DS3H + i3 8100+BCM94360CS2 card. I noticed that most of friends here used a mini-PCIe or a M.2 adapter for BCM94360CS2. I found there is an Intel CNVi port in my motherboard and I want to know if BCM94360CS2 works without any adapter by the Intel CNVi port?
The yellow number 14 in the following picture identifies the Intel CNVi port.

Hi Mate,

Even though you can insert these CRF to a standard M.2 Key E socket, they are only compatible with a system designed with the CNVi. Contact your system or motherboard manufacturer to verify compatibility.

Exactly the same here, were you able to fix it somehow? Airdrop works fine, but handoff and continuity does not.

yes, had to remove the machine from my iCloud account and re-add. simple as that.

Yeah, same. It started to work out of thin air the day after.

Fenvi T919 worked out of the box for me as well (available on eBay).

I also had to log out of iCloud and log back in as mentioned by @Stompyy and @Douirc .

After that full Continuity, Handoff, Airdrop as well as unlocking with my Apple Watch works.

Despite reports I didn't need to put it in a 1x slot (and move my graphics card to another slot due to the motherboard layout) - it works fine in a 4x slot on my motherboard.

Hello guys. I plan to build my hackintosh. Any Bluetooth 5.0 cards in the market compatible with macOS? I see that Apple has moved on to Bluetooth 5.0 from MBP 2018 models.

So I have just upgraded to the Fenvi T919 from Newegg. Installed the card, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work perfectly, my apple keyboard and mouse work 100% but no luck with handoff and continuity. Doing some research online it was said to add fox lan or fix airport if you’re using wireless and add some patches.. while trying to do so I noticed in my smbios I have a serial number for the iMac 17,1 but no board serial number or SMUUID. I also remember reading somewhere that you have to add some system perimeters also and mine are all black. For some reason chassis type is laptop also in smbios. Does any of this matter? If so what’s important and what’s not? What will happened if I generate a new serial and all that? Also I remember reading somewhere that the wireless or lan card has to be set as en0 or en1. Which one is it if I have both an Ethernet and wireless setup. What steps should I take to get this to work properly? I may be mixing some of this information I read about fixing iMessages but that seems to be working at the moment. It was in and out but it’s been fine lately. Any input is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Edit: This thread second post worked for me! Didn't have to do anything else, my SMBIOS was incomplete..

Hello friends,

I have a BCM94360CS2 and it was working perfectly on my old Hackintosh (ga-h270n-wifi + i5). I now upgraded to the ga-h370n-wifi with the i7 (8700k) and moved the wifi card to the new board (replacing the default intel one). Now my MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 does not recognize the board, it looks like it is not even connected to the board. Is there any bios or config trick to make the MacOS see the wifi card? It was supposed to work OOB.

Any help will be great.
