How to set your Mac to use Hideez Bluetooth Dongle on Sonoma

Please note that the working of the Dongle on the Intel processor may be unstable.

Whereas on M1 processors, the Dongle works stably with Apple devices.

PLEASE, FOLLOW EVERY STEP CAREFULLY, EACH ONE HAS ITS OWN MEANING.

Setting the Dongle on Sonoma

Step 1

Delete all paired devices in the list of Bluetooth devices.

YOU WILL LOSE BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY IN THE INITIAL SETUP PROCESS, AND ALL DEVICES WILL NEED TO BE RE-PAIRED.

Step 2

Insert the Dongle into the USB port and restart your Mac.

Step 3

Send a special command to the system through the terminal (command line), which allows the system to use the Hideez Dongle by default for Bluetooth devices.

Enter the following command in the Terminal window:

sudo nvram bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior=always

Then you'll need to enter the password from your Mac account and press Enter.

Step 4

Restart your Mac.

After rebooting, your Mac will use the Dongle by Default.

If the Hideez Dongle is plugged in, the system will use it for your Bluetooth devices, and if it is not available, it will reconnect the Bluetooth devices to the system adapter.

Note! The connection may be unstable on macOS Sonoma. If you have been unable to connect your Bluetooth dongle even after following all of the steps provided, please refer to our troubleshooting guide or reach out to us for assistance. Our agent will reply to you by email within 24 hours.

The re-pairing process only needs to be done once, and your Bluetooth devices will be remembered. You will need to set up the dongle once, and all settings will be saved for future use.

You need to allow new accessories (e.g., USB Hub) to connect before you can use them with Dongle on your Mac laptop computer with Apple Silicon.

Please, approve the connection, if you are using the USB hub with macOS Sonoma:
