BS not supposed to come with Bluetooth, but I have it?!

Reading all threads in this forum, I thought I had an understandfing that the BS did not come with bluetooth, and some people were spending $2000-$3500 to install it in their center consoles.... well nothing is in my center console that I can see, and when i push "telephone" it says "no telephone available"...

So I was making a call on my blackberry curve 8330 today and accidentally hit "Activate Handest" on the phone and all of a sudden it could hear the phone thorugh the car's audio system. WHAT?!

Anyone know about this or how it is working when I am not supposed to have Bluetooth?

Wierd. I wonder if you have an aftermarket Aros one or whatever that hooks up in the trunk but doesn't use the venter console bt parts. You could verify this by removing the trunk cover and the plastic cover thereunder and seeing if the module is present on the left hand side-

Mine has the dealer option also. Never used it though. To busy driving to talk on the phone when in the BS.

I'll check the trunk tommorrow to see if its the Aries... no, I just bought my car used, so i have no idea what the original options were.

If it is the factory option, no instructions are in my COMAND or owners manuals.

Merry Christmas guys, thanks for the help/ideas!

congrats on the car. If you did buy it used then the previous owner must have installed a bluetooth system on the car. The only option that is available from the factory for the BS is the Ipod connection. Blue tooth can only be installed after the purchase, or by the dealer at the buyers expense.

Check the center counsel storage bin, where the device installs. I'm guessing the previous owner installed it. AS

Update: Turns out that I am an idiot... don't have BT, rather I left the AUX cord plugged in to my BB Curve while playing Mp3's and when the phone rang, it stopped the Mp3's and went to phone mode, thus playing the sound over the speakers. It took me a while to remember that. Oh well, thanks for the help anyway guys!
