Add Bluetooth Module to Samsung UN32N5300

[Hondo58]

Was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to add a Bluetooth module to a smart TV?

Have a Samsung UN32N5300 TV that I just realized did not come with Bluetooth capability. I would like to pair the TV with a wireless keyboard, so the usual Bluetooth adapter that plugs into an audio port won't be adequate.

Would something like this BN96-30218A module work?

If adding one of these modules would work, What would a compatible module # be, and are there any additional cables required to purchase? Where would it attach to the board? Bluetooth is enabled from the service menu, but as Samsung decided in all their wisdom to build the TV without a module, it obviously does not work

Thank you

Your tv has USB HID Support, thinking you should be able to use a wireless usb keyboard with it.

Thanks for the input Mr Barton and Nomo. I've considered something like the 3.5mm/optical port Bluetooth adapters, they would be useful if attaching wireless speakers, which I may do at some point. It appears an adapter like that will not work for input devices like keyboards.

The Keysonic is a slick looking keyboard. Forgot to mention I currently use a Logitech K700 and/or K830 keyboard with the USB dongle. They work pretty good, but would like to add the Bluetooth module for enhanced versatility. I's one of those things that once you realize a feature was not included from the factory, it is a bother and more difficult to ignore.
