If you have a Bluetooth LED under the display then you have one. In this case, use Fn+F5 to enable it. Otherwise it can probably be retrofitted by buying the Bluetooth module and installing it inside the lid. You would also need to replace the LED indicators faceplace to get the Bluetooth LED.

Check the HMM if they have it (probably not, it's a castrated version R61).
Try BlueSoleil BT drivers.
