X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
I have an X220 i7 and it came without Bluetooth. I have a 6205 wireless card and msata drive installed already. What is the possibility of adding Bluetooth to this machine?

Re: X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
All X220 have a bluetooth connector on the motherboard so far I know.
You can buy the bluetooth card (FRU #60Y3271, 60Y3275), then remove the keyboard, the palmrest and plug in the bluetooth in the corresponding connector. Check the HMM for more details: click me!

Re: X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
Thanks, and they're all over ebay for $5 +/-. I'll give it a try.

Re: X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
I did this for the X220T I have in the FS thread. It was very easy to do. Not sure about the X220 BT location but on the X220T it is under the palmrest on the lower right area. IIRC you may even be able to install a BT 4.0 module as well although it may cost more than the 3.0 version.

Re: X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
Before I go ahead and order a BT card from Hong Kong (BT 3.0), I found only one BT 4.0 card. Most of the rest are FRU #60Y3271 for $5 - $7 from HK or China.
The BT 4.0 is eBay item number 261671536621:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261671536621?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
X220 X220T X230I X220I Bluetooth 4.0 Daughter Card 60Y3303 60Y3305 For Thinkpad. Does anyone know if this FRU will work in an X220?

Re: X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
Have you ruled out the simple option of a USB Bluetooth adapter?

Re: X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
I move around too much to want something hanging out on the side. I would consider an express card format but it does not appear to exist. It looks like installing the internal card is easy enough.rjwilmsi wrote:Have you ruled out the simple option of a USB Bluetooth adapter?

Re: X220 i7 add Bluetooth?
Installing a BT card is dead easy and super cheap. I can't say anything about BT 4.0 though...

Can confirm that Bluetooth 4.0 daughter card (FRU 60Y3303) works perfectly in my ThinkPad x220.
