Take a look here. http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=217991&highlight=installing+a+bluetooth+module+in+a+g5 They have a link to a place where you can buy it. It's pretty expensive though.

If it is -that- easy, then what is the reason for this not being a customer installed option? It seems as simple as some of the other available 'home install' options. Apple could easily sell a number of these units to users who did not opt for Bluetooth at purchase.

Anyone know where to buy the module? Apple won't just sell me one, will they? Also, anyone know if these instructions will work with the original PowerMac G5 from 2003?

Nice article. I don't have a Power Mac, but do have a 15" PBook about 2 generations old that has bluetooth 1.0. The new PowerBooks have a newer version of bluetooth. Can you imagine any way to upgrade bluetooth on a powerbook? Love ya, TUAW.
