Hello all,

a little help please. I'm trying to get continuity to work on my 3,1 but the plist that I normally update (the method I used successfully on Macbook Pro and iMac) isn't showing my board ID. I enter the following into terminal: -

ioreg -l | grep "board-id" | awk -F\" '{print $4}'

which in return gives me: -

Mac-F42C88C8

I then open up SystemParameters.plist and search for this but cant find it anywhere.

Do I need to manually add this into my plist and if so what should the integer number be? I was thinking it would look something like this to add to the plist: -

<key>Mac-F42C88C8</key>
<dict>
<key>ContinuitySupport</key>
<true>
<key>DID ProductCode</key>
<integer>18955</integer>
</dict>

But I have no idea what the integer number should be.

Any help greatly appreciated.

PS Broadcom wifi/bluetooth card updated and installed this morning.
 
Well, continuity 'just works' for me in my 3,1 on 10.14.6 ... and honestly I've never had to mess with any of those.
When the option came out to get AC wifi and BT4.0 which also gave modern airdrop/continuity/handoff using the iMac card and adapter, i just found the parts on amazon.com and installed them and all was well.

Thanks for the reply bud. Thinking something has messed up, may need a fresh install.
