    Silly me, I forgot to select it when I purchased the computer.

    I would like to buy it and install it myself, but I am not sure which one to buy since none of them expressly say they are for the m1530.

    Some examples:

    http://accessories.dell.com/sna/pro...l.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&sku=430-1828

    http://accessories.dell.com/sna/pro...l.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&sku=430-2529

    http://accessories.dell.com/sna/pro...l.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&sku=430-2567

    They are all the
    Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module (2.0 + EDR), but for different models. There are many more than I linked, and I am not sure which one to get :(

    Also some of them are specified "customer install" and look slightly different, and cost more. How difficult is it to install them? What about the ones that aren't "customer install"?

    Thank you so much

    it is very easy to instal...
    and choose the one for m1730.Buy the cheapest one - there is no difference.
    It doesnt matter which one u buy - u just need proper driver.
    They are all the same!

    Yeah dude did the same thing with my xps1640. Easiest thing to do is check the driver’s d/loads for your laptop at dell. See what the blue tooth driver device is listed as. Should give you the model. Then just search for it on ebay. Should be cheap & easy

    Just added note enter you bios and make sure BT is enabled, once your card is installed turn on your BT radio switch and now install drivers and software

    Not to hard to install, the plastic cover over your power button is a little difficult, just be careful and don't break it.
