How much is the bluetooth card for the 9300?

I couldn't find it on the Dell site, figured someone on here knows. What's the price to buy it seperately, or can one be bought from somewhere else?

Just ordered one for my xps and it was $14.95. Actually I told them that I forgot to select the bluetooth option when ordering and they sent it out to me at no cost. Just make sure they know you want the internal wireless module. They tried to give me a usb bluetooth at first. Hope this helps.

The Dell rep. I ordered from confirmed that it is indeed the Dell 350 Blurtooth module which is the one you get if you select it when ordering the notebook.

So, this is the same internal bluetooth that Dell offers when configuring your system that costs $50? HA!

Not sure why or when they decided to hike price up to $50. $50 price is why I didn't end up ordering it with 9300....same reason I didn't order memory with 9300...too expensive.

By the way, they told me the part number was X5166 but I did't have any luck searching on their website for it. $8 to ship ground plus tax. Would have been cheaper to purchase at $20 price they originally charged.

This is awesome! I saw some guide with pictures showing you how to install the bluetooth on your 9300. looks easy enough.

I just called spare parts and they're backordered on the BT module for 24-48 hours. Oddly, he wouldn't take my order. Said I had to call back when they're in stock.

But he did confirm what everyone else confirmed
Dell 350 Internal Bluetooth Module
Part number: X5166
Price: $13.95

In The Netherlands, France and other countries you can't order a TrueMobile 350 as Sparepart . I didn't need BT when I ordered my I6000, but now I do. Dell told me to buy a USB-Dongle.

Is there someone who lives in a country where you can order a TM 350 and wants to send me the TM 350 by mail?

Order it and have it shipped to me and I'll send it to you.

This evening I spoke to a friend who has a Inspiron 9100 with a TrueWireless 300 which he doesn't use. Not as fast as a 350. But it'll do. I bought the 300 and it works perfectly. So the "send a BT-Module over the world" storie ends here I'm afraid.

Thanks RamIt!

Very international of you.
