I have asked two dealers if I can install Bluettoth in my car and they have both told me it is not available. Is this true?

Pre March 04 production cars need a newer TCU (Telematics Control Unit). The software programming can be done and BT enabled but without the newer TCU you can only have a one way conversation.
