Does my VGN-AR31E have Bluetooth ?

Vista Home Premium,in the Vaio instructions which I downloaded it seems as if it should be there but I can't find it.
I have looked in Control Panel, and Device Manager but Bluetooth is not mentioned.

Hi rawprawn,

It does not mention Bluetooth in the connectivity specifications here: -

http://vaio.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.action?product=VGN-AR31E&productFilters=retired&site=voe_en_GB_cons&pageType=Overview&category=VN+AR+Series

Or here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.co.uk/specifications/specifications.asp?site=voe_en_GB_cons&c=0&s=VGN-AR&m=2524

It is listed for the AR31M and AR31S but not the AR31E.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Bluetooth module is not fitted to the AR31E.

Hi Blencogo
Thank you for the response, I had a feeling that it wasn't Bluetooth enabled but I wanted to be sure.
No problem, but my daughter bought me a new Mobile for Christmas and that's what got me started.

Hi rawprawn - Happy New Year!

A small USB Bluetooth dongle can be bought very cheaply. It should not be a big problem.

You are luck to have a daughter that buys something useful for Christmas!!!!
