Mac Pro Wi Fi Bluetooth Upgrade ASMR
Sorry for the music. Tried 3 times with a much better selection but kept getting copyright strikes. This was my final attempt.

Getting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to work when using a Mac Pro with OpenCore and macOS Monterey can be tricky. For some the original Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules work, for others they do not. I took a Wi-Fi / Bluetooth combo-module from a 2013 iMac and put it in my Mac Pro, this allows me to have the full functionality Monterey (and Big Sur/Catalina as well) has to offer.
*** This is NOT a tutorial, just be doing stuff ***
I went as cheap as humanly possible. And while there are many roads that lead to Rome, this is the one I picked.
• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module: https://www.amazon.com/BCM94360CD-802-11ac-Wireless-Bluetooth4-0-Compatible/dp/B09JVWBDHC
• PCIe adapter board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0762N451V
• Bluetooth antenna extension cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YM0HN0O
- Re-purpose the Bluetooth module's USB cable (clip two of the wires, solder or tie together the other two)
Since I had the module already, I spent just $10 on these parts and managed to drag my Mac Pro into 2022 :)
