Thread Starter 
heres the deal guys i have a dv4170us, it didnt come with internal bluetooth but it came with internal intel wirelss 2200 mini pci, i want internal bluetooth class 1 with A2DP to support my bluetooth logitech headphones for pc (so i wont have to hve the dongle sticking out when im on the go)

the only mini pci card that has btooth and wireless g in one mini pci is msi

Question 1: will my laptop support this pci card

if not here are my options
i have an express card slot and a pcmcia slot which is occupied by my remote control , so really only express card slot is open

i dont want to have to open up my laptop completely so i dont want to do one of those whacked out internal hacks

i also have a 6 in 1 card reader built into the side of my laptop

so im asking for ur opinions
do I

A: buy a cf or sd bluetooth card and stick it into the card reader and use bluetooth like that but have the card stick out slightly

B: buy an express card media reader and get a sd or cf bluetooth card so that it doesnt stick out at all

C: buy a usb dongle....but that sticks out

D: any options u can recommend

thanks in advance for all your help and support

most laptop bluetooth/wireless can be turned on/off via a "hardware" mechanismus dingy. so unless the laptop is being "premade", 99% of the time it will not work

"b" sounded cool, but a bit of sticking "a" out would help in the signal connection

cheers ...
