    plug and play. You can get from Dell or Ebay for about 30 bucks shipped.

    XPS usually ships w/ 355 TM module, but you can also use 350 or 360.

    i just took out the Dell 355 Bluetooth Module from my Vostro 1700 and stuck it in my XPS M1530 before giving my vostro to my dad. It works perfectly. Just so you know, the cable for the bluetooth adapter is already inside of your computer. all you need to do is look up in your user manual how to install the bluetooth module and you should be set.

    BTW, it is really simple, take out the battery (hit the power button again to release the charge built up), remove the 3 screws under your battery, gently pry up the black plastic sitting above your keyboard then plug in the adapater and reverse the steps to put it back together.
