    I was able to find part numbers in this thread, to get what is needed to install bluetooth in my M14x:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m14x/579315-bluetooth-3-0-m14x-2.html#post7573104

    However, when I called Dell, they said they were out of stock right now, and weren't expecting anything for at least another couple of weeks. I found some module/cable combos on the bay, but they're going for like $35 min. According to Dell parts, these should run me just over $10 when they are back in stock.

    Anybody know where else to source this stuff, or am I locked in a waiting game here?

    Thanks,


    Scott
