how do i add bluetooth to oem radio
I have a 2011 Grand Cherokee, the factory radio has the bluetooth call button on the top row of buttons but i did not get that feature when i bought it. now i am looking to add it on but i want to just use the radio buttons to control the bluetooth not a seperate control pad that i would have to mount somewhere.
Does anyone know the correct parts that i would need to do this. I have no problem installing it i just cant find the right parts. thanks

You have to buy the bluetooth radio and install it. There is no seperate install instructions to put it in your radio...your rDio neither has the firmware, nor the facets on the board to add bluetooth.

So you're saying that i have to buy a new oem radio that has bluetooth software in it?
Why would my radio have the call button on it if it isn't capable of even adding a bluetooth kit?

It could be for a aftermarket Chrysler cell phone, or a mute button.
You can do research for what headunit to buy, I searched for a long time to find one as cheap as possible that also had good quality sound, bluetooth,pandora,ect.

Product Description
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee owners can now add a hands free uconnect to your car even if it didn't from the factory. Uconnect allows you to have voice activated, hands free, in vehicle communication. Your wireless cell phone, combined with bluetooth technology, will allow you hands free calling for safe vehicle operation. It also enables you to control your iPod through the radio controls, but that requires a seperate part which is not included in this package. This genuine Mopar accessory contains the microphone, module, and the wiring harness, but you will also need your local dealer to upgrade the car's computer for it to be fully functional. Check out our Amazon store for more genuine Mopar parts and accessories.
