    You can buy the unit on ebay... but for about $20 you can buy it from Dell..
    Very easy to fit and all drivers software should be on your Dell disc or download from Dell site..Download your service manual from Dell shows you how and where the BT goes..

    Did you need to add a cable to add the BT module or was it just the module itself?

    The cable should be there already, so you just need the module.
