Reddit reviews Broadcom Bcm94360cs Bcm94360csax Bcm4360 Bluetooth Bt Wireless Wifi Card Module for Apple Laptop A1398 A1502 653-0029 802.11ac

Here are links to the bt/wifi card and adapter pcie card I ordered. I've used this same combo in my personal machine, before I upgraded my graphics card and lost High Sierra support, to great results as well

I have a 2012 retina MBP. Works perfectly fine but did not support the unlock with watch feature. After some searching, I found you can do it if you just swap out the wifi card. Cost me $40 and a half hour of my time. I can confirm 100% this card works. Read the reviews.

Mate I saw a post here a while ago, about this (our) model Macbook. You can use a newer version of the card so it can enable auto-unlock with the Apple Watch - if you have one.

I think this is the part he was talking about - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDN4H9E/

Still trying to track down post for you.

edit: here is the post I found the info from - https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/56wmqc/auto_unlock_on_older_macs_diy/

Has anyone tried, or does anyone know whether or not replacing the Macbook's built-in wifi card with a 802.11ac compatible card will enable this feature? I have a mid-2012 rMBP and a S2 Apple Watch, and I'd like to be able to upgrade the wifi card with something like this.

Will it work, or does Apple simply look at the model of the laptop to determine whether to enable this feature?

Edit: I read some of the comments on Amazon and it looks like others have had success with the new Auto Unlock feature by upgrading their wifi card. I ordered it and if it works, I'll edit this post again.

I hope you are using an adaptor? seeing I think that is proprietary Apple connector?!?!

(I'm using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDN4H9E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I'll give it a shot, just afraid I might've just damaged the card.

I bought a card from Amazon and installed it into my 2012 rmbp. Auto unlock now works. I will say that the feature will occasionally fail to work and I will have to enter my password. This happens maybe 1 out of 10 times? I've read that it happens to natively supported macs as well. This is the card I bought - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDN4H9E/
The card was recognized immediately, internet recovery works fine as well.

1. Unless you 've replaced the combo Wifi/BT card in your EliteDesk, that card won't work. Apple has never used Intel-based Wifi/BT cards and they are not supported. This is why your wifi doesn't work. Go buy a supported wifi card found here and get this adapter card. to find the M.2 card in your wifi slot. For full Continuity/Handoff support, you really need a supported Broadcom card. You can find a list of supported cards here.
   
2. Be forewarned, you are likely get some hate due to mentioning Multibeast in public. All tools can certainly have their use cases, but the conventional wisdom is vanilla installs are much better than using the Unibeast/Multibeast methods due to the fact that Unibeast/Multibeast place updated files within the MacOS filesystem, whereas Vanilla install methods keep all of the driver changes contained within the UEFI partition. The implication is Apple updates can easily break your machine if you are changing files inside of MacOS, but it is generally far safer to keep your changes in the UEFI partition because Apple leaves that partition alone.
   
3. Your EliteDesk 800G3 is very similar to my EliteBook 840 G3 laptop, as both are based on the same architecture, same generation and similar motherboard. You can likely get pretty far following Rehabman's guide for the Probook/Elitebook Mojave install. See this thread and this guide.

Just get T9E-Archer which use bcm4360, works oob plus includes ac standard. Handoff and Continuity features will be working with gbu521
