    Sure can...I bought the bluetooth adapter from dell and popped it in my Vostro 1500...works great, and was cheap and easy to do.

    Yeah should be no big deal. Get the BT module from Dell spare parts or maybe eBay.

    Read your Vostro manual. Should be at page 162.

    pry the plastic top off, connect the cable, and screw it down, then press the plastic back on.
