Telematics Control Unit.

Yes, for a new TCU, $1500 or so depending upon the deal you can negotiate with the dealer. Remanufactured units are apparently around for about $500 or so. Add 2 to 4 hours labor depending on programming requirements as well.

And what about my car? Do u think its BT ready or not?

Thanks ademitt. I'll save it for engine or suspension upgrade.
I enjoy driving more than talking on the phone.

Sasha, I think 03/04 was the start date for all TCU to have the BT encoded so you should be ok.
