Can I add bluetooth?

I have a Mid 2009 20" iMac that i would like to add bluetooth to so I can take advantage of a trackpad. Is there a way to do this on this model and where could I source the item from?

Update (09/21/2012)

Appreciate the help guys. I picked this unit up used and didn't know it was the educational model. I'll find a dongle to use.

Most likely your iMac has bluetooth support. Can you give us the last four digits of your serial number so we can tell which iMac model you have.

If you have this model you'll need to get a Bluetooth dongle as rj713 recommends.

Hi, my last 4 digits are K6MH (20inch mid 2009) reconditioned purchase, is this also an educational model and will a standard Bluetooth dongle work?

Chris - You can use one of the supported dongles or add-in the missing parts. We can't leverage the last part of the S/N any more. It's best to do a proper lookup from EveryMac - Lookup

Hi, You can purchase a bluetooth dongle very reasonably. Link provided for some possibilities--others exist. Good luck.
