Bluetooth Pre-wired

I ordered my car with the steering wheel controls. On there is the bluetooth button, however I did not order that option. Does anyone know if it's pre-wired for that? If so, is there something I can purchase to make it active or is that strictly a dealer thing. Thanks.

By the way, is it pre-wired for alarm as well?

I think (80% sure) that it is prewired for Bluetooth...I'm pretty sure you could go aftermarket on it, but dealer would be better, I think.

Alarm pre-wiring is standard.

Strictly a dealer-thing for Bluetooth unfortunately. There's a significant number of electronic bits that would need to be swapped. I don't know of anyone that's gone through with it, but if you search around in the 2nd Gen forums for 'bluetooth retrofit' there's plenty of reports with estimates in the $900-1200 range.
