This Service Information Bulletin should give you all the information you require. I believe this is North America only though, cannot comment for sure for Thailand.

Blue Tooth has got to be one of the coolest free features these days...I wish more auto makers would make it standard equipment or at least optional. Everyday, I see some fool driving irresponsibly...with cell phone to their ear!

I couldn't enable bluetooth for my car (April 2004 build) so I had to settle for a Plantronic bluetooth headset instead.
