Apple Watch unlock working fine for me on a cMP 5,1 running Monterey 12.3.1 via OC 0.8.0.
Got a tip for us?

Well I used my OC 0.7.9 config.plist with only the changes mentioned in post #1 so essentially the same config as I was running with 0.7.9.
Doesn't seem to work for me. OCLP finishes its process and nothing happens. For now I've observed that connecting only the second display works until system starts to load, then it turns black and I have to connect another display. Same situation using dvi.
Well I have much better "performance" with Apple Watch unlock and OC 0.7.9. It is not perfect but it was failing almost completely on 0.8.0. Hopefully I can understand what is going on because I certainly do miss it. For now I'll stick with 0.7.9 and Apple Watch unlock mostly functioning....
That's very strange, at least for me, since I haven't noticed an abnormal behavior. Even if your Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module were to be different from mine (a Broadcom BCM943602CDP), I see no reason why the particular version of OpenCore should have any bearing whatsoever on Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity.
I would agree. I initially thought it might be 12.3 but no one else has reported issues but @EvilMonk reported he had issues with 0.8.0 so I posted here to see if others have noticed anything or could suggest things to test.
I have the same Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module as you.
Works on the 6 cores though… but it has only half the lefts loaded by OC 0.8 and it doesn’t load any thunderbolt patch… the configs are a little different and it may be why.
***Edit***
Typo my bad ?♂️
It has only half the kexts loaded by OC 0.8

I had no issues with apple watch unlock in 0.7.9 nor any keyboard/mouse connection issues. Apple watch unlock seemed to work under 0.8.0 ok but bluetooth was overall flakey - dropping keyboard and mouse frequently; keys repeating even though not held; airpods dropping in video calls. I did a NVRAM reset using the sudo nvram ResetNVRam=1 method. This of course removes the bless on the OC EFI, so when booting after reset went into Mojave recovery (command-R). While there (unrelated really to the hopeful need for the NVRAM reset to fix the bluetooth) I disabled sip and rebooted to Mojave to do a bootROM dump - all looks great on that side. Rebooted back into Mojave recovery and reblessed OC. Next boot had the OC bootpicker and went back into Monterey 12.3.1. Bluetooth has been very stable for the past two days since doing that - Monterey 12.3.1; OC 0.8.0; Broadcom BCM94360CD
Apple watch unlock, airpods and handoff work consistently.

I have 2 error messages with ocvalidate (0.8.0):
"Kernel->Emulate->Cpuid1Data requires Cpuid1Mask to be active for replaced bits!
CheckKernel returns 1 error!
Misc->BlessOverride: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi is redundant!
CheckMisc returns 1 error!"
How would I fix these (or do I even need to)?
Mac booted OK.
thx

These issues shouldn't cause any problems, but you should still address them in order to follow the OpenCore specification.
For the first issue, replace
Code:
<key>Cpuid1Data</key>
<data>AAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAA==</data>
<key>Cpuid1Mask</key>
<data>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==</data>
Code:
<key>Cpuid1Data</key>
<data>
</data>
<key>Cpuid1Mask</key>
<data>
</data>For the second issue, replace
Code:
<key>BlessOverride</key>
<array>
<string>\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi</string>
</array>
Code:
<key>BlessOverride</key>

Your card is different. By the way there can't be
BCM943602CS, but BCM94360CS and BCM943602CD or BCM943602CDP I have both BCM94360CS and BCM943602CDP. They have different antenna connectors among other differences.
Didn't know CS comes with
BCM943602 as well. I am using this adapter:

Back when I bought this, the eBay listing advertised it as coming from a 2016 MBP.Didn't know CS comes withBCM943602as well. I am using this adapter:
It works fine in HS and Catalina. In BS it is powered on, but there is no bluetooth devices discovered. In Monterey I get:HUYUN BCM94360CD / BCM94331CD / BCM943602CDP Module Card to PCI-e 1x 16x Desktop Computer Adapter

What is your Vendor ID?Code:Vendor ID: 0x0A5C Product ID: 0x21FF
Note that I am also NOT using the stock antenna. I upgraded all of that when I added it into my machine.

Apparently mine is some knockoff as even in Windows there are no bluetooth drivers.
