    Did some searching and I do not come up with allot on teardowns for your model nor any mention of a header on the MB for installing a module/cable type adapter. If you can find some good pics of the MB both top and bottom, someone here maybe be able to point out the header if it has one. But even if it does it may still not be active. The headers are normally a 8 pin or 4 pin.

    I did find info on using a PCI-e bluetooth card in them though, so that maybe the route you have to take. There should be and extra slot next to the Wireless card, you would just have to figure out where to run the antenna.
