    Does the Cf-29 have a oem Bluetooth installed? Where do I find the Bluetooth drivers for the cf-29? I have searched with no luck. Thanks

    If you are lucky enough to get the rare OEM version they should be available on Panasonic's site.

    Go to the CF-29 FAQ here you will find the links to the Panasonic support sites.

    Only problem with this is that it does not work for other "customers" like it does for you.

    Note to "others": go here to sign up for your own account (free) and register your Toughbook (optional, but also free). Once you do that you can search the Downloads utility for "software updates and drivers, product manuals, BIOS, ECs, and more."

    The FAQ (which I linked to) has the links to three different Panasonic support sites, all of which have the exact same drivers, two of which do not require a password.

    The link you provided is to some personal page within Panasonic with two bluetooth drivers that do not even look like the right one.

    It makes more sense to go to the driver download pages and pick the exact model and get the correct driver for the exact model.

    Im not pointing people to the FAQ to snub them or because I do not want to help. My goal is to educate and empower people to be able to find the info they need on their own, this is more helpful.

    I have the Factory Bluetooth in my MK1 and MK5. I HAD this same problem and it's an easy fix. I copied this from a thread at toughtbooktalk.

    "Some people on this forum" have been here a long time and spent a lot of personal time putting the stickies together so every new member does not need to ask the most basic of questions every day. You will never learn anything worth while unless you are willing to put in a little effort on your own. This place ain't "Ask Jeeves".
