Stock Bluetooth Install?

I just bought a 2009 1LT Cobalt with cruise control as its only option. I've since put in the USB radio and steering wheel controls. Now that I have the wheel controls, the voice tells me that I can choose "Bluetooth" as an option. Unfortunately, when I actually say "bluetooth" the system doesn't recognize it. Could I get the factory bluetooth working by a simple software install at the dealership? Do I need to find a bluetooth antenna to plug into my CIM? Do I need a different CIM to make this work? Is it at all possible to get factory bluetooth working in this car?

I'm really just wondering if anyone out there might know if I need to add a bluetooth antenna or if the CIM already has the antenna installed.

As far as I know, it uses the same mic as the Onstar system that came with it.

I think you do it by holding down the call button and saying "Bluetooth" when prompted. You'll have to pair a phone with it which will required input to the phone and the vehicle. The instructions are in the owner's manual.
