did you try ? usually the bluetooth cards have a USB interface.
check the wireless off switch, also.

I finally received the 3 aftermarket port covers a couple of weeks ago, that I ordered from a HK seller on ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/261068304385?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The DC and USB covers are exactly like those in the pictures above, same plastic, no ridges on...

did anyone try to add this or any other internal mic to a CF-30 (mk1+) ?
