Default New 997TT

Picked up a 2008 today in Arctic Silver with stone grey interior w/ 42,000 miles. Quite a difference from my 2000 Boxster S

All stock other than these mods (I have all the original parts as well):
GT2RS intercoolers
GT2 rear sway bar
GT3 front lower control arms
TPC pro race front sway bar
TPC pro race adjustable rear toe links
TPC solid thrust bushings for front control arms

I do have two questions:
1. What is the best way to add Bluetooth? I do have the 6 disc changer; is Denison still the way to go if you are keeping the stock head unit?
2. Does anyone know what the incremental cost is to pin all the coolant lines if done while replacing the clutch? Similar question regarding cost to pin the camshaft if done w/ the clutch. Just trying to get a sense if there are significant cost savings of doing these preventative items when it needs a clutch.

Not sure about the extra cost to pin exactly speaking, but consider that in order to do a clutch, the motor needs to come out of the car with trans. This also happens to be the case for pinning the coolant lines. I can drop the motor in my TT in 1.5 hours on my 2 post lift, but it's still a pain, and if I really cared about the coolant lines, I would only want to drop once.

Paying someone to do it? Definitely do it at the same time.
