Remove the interior cover to the third brake light...but make sure your hands are clean or you'll stain the headliner.

The sharkfin is not for bluetooth. The sharkfin is on the outside of the vehicle and bluetooth is for use inside. The sharkfin has multiple uses, but not BT.

Bluetooth is for the interface between the car and a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. If you have the optional cradle and phone specific adapter in the armrest it will connect the cell phone to the shark fin (I prefer "dorsal" but that's just me) and is supposed to give better reception and transmission.
