Using a Laptop Bluetooth Module with Arduino

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello everyone, I am planning to build a rc car using an arduino uno r3 board, ESC, and a bluetooth module. I plan to control the car using an android phone. I am able to buy all the parts at a reasonable price except the bluetooth module.

I found a bluetooth module that a salvaged from an old Toshiba laptop, and I was just wondering if it is compatible with the arduino. I searched around for some time, but was unable to find info about this. The module is : Toshiba PA3750U - 1BTM G86C0002X710. If it turns out that it's incompatible, what else could I use as cheap bluetooth module for my arduino project?

Thanks in advance!

Probably because you haven't been looking very hard

HC05 / HC06 bluetooth modules are not expensive.

You probably know that it will only work on a max 10m radius (from your phone).
