Hi TR people, I found this fantastic deal on ebay this morning. If you’ve wanted bluetooth in your TR but never wanted to drop the cash (like me), here is a $14 (incl. shipping) module on ebay. It’s the same exact module featured in the tutorial. The seller has 11 left, and they have a good rating, so act fast.

Thanks for the heads up.  At this price it seems too good to be true, but $14 shipped isn’t much of a gamble so I bought one.  The high module price is the only thing that kept me from doing this already.  I’ve already done every other feazible upgrade.

I thought I’d let everyone know I recieved and installed the module this afternoon.  It works perfectly.  Thanks again for the heads-up on this deal.

I just bought one of these. It will be awhile before I install it though. Thanks for the great find. I will have to look at the tutorial to see if there are any other parts needed.

Yeah, that totally worked. Not only did it arrive in a reasonably short time, but he also included the coax cable (which I was not expecting). All things considrered, this might have been one of the best computer deals i’ve ever scored. I mean, an ~800% discount isn’t too shabby.

I can confirm that this works on tr2a. But I didnt get the coax cable with it like count0 did. Agian it is still a wonderful deal.

Unfortunately, they didn’t see my comments in the supplied text box. So mine was shipped to my old address in another state. I REALLY hope they return it back to the seller so he can ship it to me :(

Specifying a different address in a comment field could easily be seen as a scammer’s tactic.

The thing is Mr. B, the address I put into the box is the same address I am registered as with PayPal. So they were the same. For some reason, my shipping address was completely different than my PayPal address used for billing and everything else.

So to be honest, if the person / company had paid close attention to everything, this wouldn’t have happened and it would have been brought to their attention through close study.

Nonetheless, I called PayPal to fix it since the site itself would not let me change it for some stupid reason - even the PayPal rep was astonished.

Well, looks like I lost out on this deal since my item went to an old address and there is no response from that address or a return to sender attempt. What a pain in the butt, both from PayPal / Ebay not understanding why I had an old address in my profile and taking forever in how to fix it, but also the seller not reading the comments box.

I guess I will keep searching for bluetooth :(
