Bluetooth Adapter For Mac



This worked for me; it might not work for you. Remember I’m just same random guy on the internet so I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your machine. Okay?

The Problem

  1. Finding Bluetooth MAC Address from the command line. The btinfo command displays a lot of information about your bluetooth adapter, including it's MAC Address. To display only the Bluetooth MAC Address run btinfo with the '-a' switch. Btinfo is not available on your system out of the box. It's a part of the freeware Bluetooth command line tools suite.
  2. Discover the world of iPhone adapters. Compare models, find more iPhone power and iPhone cable accessories and shop online.
  3. Select 'Bluetooth Radio' in the Devices list and click 'Properties'. In the 'Bluetooth Radio Properties' form go to 'Advanced' tab. Note the Manufacturer Id. If it is 10 (CSR) or 15 (Broadcom) then your bluetooth adapter is supported and you may try to change it's bluetooth address using Bluetooth MAC Address Changer.
