They seem to have a few.

I got a cheapie bluetooth "Clip-on Fortuna" yonks ago and it has worked faultlessly. It has an XT function Shocked which often works inside the house Shocked Shocked . It is rechargeable using Nokia charger and lasts for ages on standard sensitivity; XT uses about 2.5 times the juice...
 2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

Just put one in the high level stop light as I was replacing it anyway. Not Bluetooth but took the cable down the trim in the corner. Will attach to the laptop in the back which will be controlled from a toch screen in the front.
