 Since {{revision|5.0-910}}, Dolphin has the ability to passthrough a Bluetooth adapter for emulated Wii software. This gives emulated Wii software full control of a Bluetooth adapter, which, provided a decent, working adapter, notably allows pairing Wii Remotes to Dolphin, third-party Wii Remote support, working Wii Remote audio and more accurate connectivity.
+== Limitations ==
+* The functionality and quality of the connections heavily depend on the quality of the adapter.
+* Even though most adapters work fine in passthrough mode, the only perfect adapter is the Wii's Bluetooth module (so far).
+* Save states can be used with some limitations.
+* Because Bluetooth Passthrough Mode skips Dolphin's emulated Bluetooth and Wii Remote code entirely, it is not possible to mix passthrough mode and emulated/real/hybrid Wii Remote. This means that netplay, TAS input, input display, etc. cannot work.

 If you run into problems after doing this, such as an "LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND" error when trying to use the adapter with Dolphin, downloading and installing the [https://github.com/daynix/UsbDk/releases latest x64 usbdk driver] could help.

 While a game is running:
 * Wii Remotes can be synced and paired to Dolphin by using the Sync button.
 * All saved Wii Remote pairings can be reset by using the Reset button. This will also disconnect all currently connected Wii Remotes.

 "Press Sync Button" is designed to work just like the Wii's red sync button:
 * Pressing the hotkey will trigger a sync.
 * Holding the hotkey for 10 seconds will clear all saved pairings.

 This can happen with some adapters. You'll need to [[#Forcing_a_specific_adapter|force your adapter to be used]].
