    Hey
    I got a real good D430 but it didn't come with integrated bluetooth. Is this a chip I can buy off the internet and just plug in somewhere on my computer?

    Can anyone direct me to the name of such a chip, or if it even exists?

    great -- thanks

    I believe they sell the Dell Wireless 360 Bluetooth module with the D430 so just do a search and you should find shops that sell it or you can buy it from Dell

    The instruction on how to gain access access to the Bluetooth is located here

    Buy it off ebay. Much cheaper.
