Last updated 11 days ago

If you haven't purchased the Hideez Bluetooth Dongle yet, you can evaluate whether it will resolve your Mac's Bluetooth issues by downloading and running the application. This utility helps identify whether the problem stems from internal hardware limitations or can be fixed by using the dongle.

The Hideez Bluetooth Dongle is a highly compatible, cross-platform device that enables Bluetooth 4.0 functionality on systems where it may be limited or unstable. While it does not require the installation of additional drivers, macOS users must complete a one-time setup process to activate the dongle.

The dongle is compatible with both Intel-based Macs and Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3).

Setup Options

There are two ways to set up the Hideez Dongle on your Mac:

1. Set up via the application

A quick and guided installation using the Hideez Dongle Setup App (recommended for macOS Ventura and later). This method allows users to configure the dongle in just a few clicks with minimal technical steps.

2. Set up manually via Terminal

For advanced users or those running older macOS versions, the dongle can be configured by running a command in Terminal.

Choose your macOS version to view setup instructions:

Note: The Hideez Dongle is not officially supported on Hackintosh systems (non-Apple hardware running macOS). Successful setup cannot be guaranteed in such environments.
