Where to buy a new bluetooth module ?

The bluetooth does not seem to work anymore. (its not the booting up problem). It simply does not able to pair with new phones nor does it connect with old phone with which it was paired.

Where can I purchase a new BT module ?

Posts on this forums suggest it costs about $200. The dealer quoted $250 just to examine whats wrong. So I am not going back to dealer.

Also I am not the kind who will replace it myself. So suggestion on where i can have the replacement done will be appreciated.

You can try and find an independent shop locally or you should try and tackle this yourself. I know you said you aren't the type to do it yourself but there are DIYs here on AZ. You will likely get a better part cost from one of the vendors here on AZ as well.

EasyCruiser... my BT also went out and dealer wanted $400 for a replacement and im sure around $200-250 you can find a new one but I decided to go against that route since its an older piece of tech etc.

Do you have an AUX port on your TL?
if you I would recommend you buy this....
Amazon.com: Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit for Cars with Aux Input Jack (3.5 mm) - supports aptX: Cell Phones & Accessories Amazon.com: Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit for Cars with Aux Input Jack (3.5 mm) - supports aptX: Cell Phones & Accessories

gives you BT phone capability AND it has audio streaming as well so it gives you more features than you previously. Only caveat is that you have to use it through the AUX port but so far this has been great. And from the reading i've done here.. its the best aftermarket BT device you can get, including the blackberry gateway and a few others and it automatically connects to your phone as well
