    Hello. I have 2 (two) sets of CF-29 bluetooth built in units. The numbers are: DL3UP1237HAA. Not DL3UP12376AA what you are looking for. I have OEM antennas to go with them and the screw. I will also provide a copy of OEM stack software, however I'm using Toshiba stack. I have no idea how it will work with older CF-29, in MK4 and MK5, you have to remove the pin from
    the keyboard connectors cover. Make me a cash offer or trade for CF-29 OEM complete HD caddy, or good CF-29 battery (yellow tab). Regards, Voytek.

    Voytek,
    I'll trade for the whole kit for my OEM Panasonic caddy. PM your address and I'll ship tomorrow. Depending on road conditions....snowing now and the mail stage may not make it over the top of the mountain.
    I understand these mount on/near the keyboard PCB. Is that correct? I can look it up...that's what I remember.
    I just hope my guy gets back with the propane for my shop heater. :D

    You will need the special OEM keyboard cable cover to install factory BT. The standard cover has a brass post that sticks down; the BT cover has no post because that's where the BT board goes.

    As I remember when me and voytek install this module and we don't have an special cover mention by "ken" above. What we do is just pull out those post leaving a hole on the cover and then apply aluminum tape between the upper surface and at the buttom. That way it still water resistant. The 3M 43X2 aluminum tape will do the job. This tape usually use on telephone aerial maentenance thats why I know and I've been on this job for 12years.

    I had to do the same thing when I took mine out of my MK1 . The cover would not fit the MK5 and all the ones on ebay had the pin on it.

    Hello. As I can see, you guys figured everything out with out me. I was going to include pictures how TEO fixed the pin on the cover, but the file is too big.
    Can't take another one because the CF-29 is already closed. Jeff,please let me know when you get it and how it worked out. If anybody is interested, I have another BT kit. The board, connector, antenna and screw. The OEM Panasonic bluetooth stack is working fine, but Toshiba stack for WIN.XP is better. If you are interested in trade, I'm looking for nice desktop port replicator for CF-29. Must have USB.2 (not the old one for CF-27 and CF-28).
    Best regards, Voytek.

    If it's any help,when I installed my bluetooth board I took a Dremel tool and just cut the pin off flush,no hole to tape up.

    Hello Jeff. I was shure, that I sent you my address. Anyway check yor PM.
    Your kit is in the mail. Canada Post is slow, so be patient. I did not include the
    CD with Panasonic stack, Toshiba is much better, and it's an easy download.
    Best regards, Voytek.
