It's likely part of the display module (which is an embedded Windows computer), but disabled in the Flex implementation.0

In a mobile install I'd run a cat5 cable to a RAM mounted laptop... Re-packaging the radio would likely trigger a need to re-certify the device, negating any savings by disabling the interface in the initial design. Of course, speculating is fun, but I suspect it has a very mundane reason for being included.1

Hi
There are no plans to leverage Bluetooth at this time.

Mike, Is there a setup procedure to route the Bluetooth audio and Mic or a USB earphone and Mic from the Flex 6600 connected to a PC and how does one key?

The possibilities are interesting for doing both incoming and outgoing audio, plus PTT through Bluetooth to the PC. There are many Bluetooth headsets that will connect to the PC and provide headphone / microphone. PTT could also be done by using a Bluetooth serial port emulation to the PC, then connect to CAT PTT via serial on the PC. You’d need to have a Bluetooth serial device with the capability of toggling control lines from your operating position. I have no idea whether such a beast exists, but I bet it does. And the challenge would be interesting. Not plug-n-play for PTT, but pretty much so for audio. Now I’ll let Mike answer the question :-)1
