Default Bluetooth

My car is 08 LS460 Base model with No GPS system.
Is there a way to find out if my car is equipped with Bluetooth?

I have seen one for sale in seattle when I was looking for one, I though it was weird as well but with an aftermarket screen swap would have been just as nice. (only if they made a kit though).

Lex, not sure what you mean but I do not have nav so my Garmin works as both. If you mean putting an aftermarket nav or used nav in, they are very hard to find and hard as well to justify expense and hassle.
