Just purchased a 2008 EXL Odyssey, which has navigation. I can talk to the car using the steering wheel buttons. Only thing is that it's missing Bluetooth. Does anyone know if I could just purchase a Bluetooth card/module that would have been in Touring and if the connection point exists to add? I believe the part number is 39770SHJA020M1. I search for hours but haven't seen anyone comment specifically on this. Everything I've seen is about the versions without Navigation.
 
I think you're referring to the HandsFreeLink module. In any case, I wouldn't think so, at least not easily. You still need to hook it up to the radio somehow and it's not just a simple AUX connector at the back.

The factory HandsFreeLink isn't great anyway, it only does phone calls and you have to navigate it via voice IIRC. Better off with one of the aftemarket modules that does phone calls and audio.

Was looking for a cheap way to get built in Bluetooth. My focus is being able to answer phone calls. I can get a used module for $25 (link below). Was wondering if the harness was already there. Was hoping that because the car has the Navigation screen that the only thing missing was the module.

 
I would assume the harness in that area is not the same or present at all ... it's probably not possible unless you get the accessory add-on. I looked into it for my own van and it's showing discontinued. You would need donor parts from a wrecked car with said accessory and its wiring or from a EXL w/ RES, NAV and power liftgate or Touring, those had HFL from the factory.

Probably better off getting one of the aftermarket modules that is like $50 on Amazon. That's what I installed in mine.
