    Haven't really played with this feature as of yet - how do I connect my phone to my hands free?

    I don't think my car has bluetooth, it's not on the window sticker. It has the phone buttons though and the mic spot.

    The manual tells me to look in some other "Scagletti" manual which I don't have.

    Is this something I am supposed to have the dealer instal?

    I'm just curious as to how you didn't know if your car had Bluetooth or not.

    Not really sure how to answer that. I bought it from FOLI, sight unseen and had it shipped to me. It's not on the window sticker that came with the car (the original window sticker, saved by the original owner and given to me with all the documentation), so I don't know how else to know if it has it or not without calling Lussos or Demetrio. Neither of them work today so I'm posting the question to the board. The car was not advertised as having BT so I would be pleasantly surprised if it does :)

    Do you know the answer to my question?

    Oh, now I see. If it isn't on the sticker, I wouldn't think you would have it, unless Ferrari gave you a little present on accident. I think I kinda know what you're talking about, but when I was indulging myself in my friends new F430 Spider, I didn't stop to ask him if he had that option. I would just wait for someone else who owns the car to answer your question. This post will bump the thread to the top of the list, anyway.

    The instructions for Bluetooth Pairing are in the sound system manual, labeled "Infotainment." I had the Bluetooth in my car, but I sacrificed it for an aftermarket Nav system. Bluetooth isn't particularly valuable in a convertible, anyway. My guess (and this is only a guess) have the phone buttons on the console, but they're only active in those with the Bluetooth Module installed. If it's not on the window sticker, it's almost certainly not in the car.

    my infotainment manual is 100% in Italian (lot of fun).

    I'll wait till Monday and bug the dealer if nobody knows how to operate/test it .

    I have Bluetooth in my F430 and connect my Blackberry to it. The connection is not that great and it drops out all the time, meaning you have to constantly reconnect. Even when it is working the reception quality is not great and the people I call tell me they can hardly hear me over the noise of the engine. If I was ordering again, I would not bother with the Bluetooth.
