"The Bluetooth ® antenna is a small fixed antenna connected directly to the CIM and is used to send and receive signals from a Bluetooth ® enabled cellular phone. The antenna utilizes no cabling and is not external to the vehicle. The available features and functions are determined by the software within the device being used and the CIM. Service Information

After scouring the internet, I came across this info on a Cobalt forum. This leads me to believe that an '09 1LT can be retrofitted with a factory bluetooth antenna. I will continue to investigate this issue, but would like to know if anyone here could help or point me in the right direction for getting good information.

It seems my '09 1LT is equipped with everything necessary with the exception of the bluetooth antenna. Now, what would be required for a dealer to add a bluetooth antenna with the required software? Would the CIM need to be changed out?
