Qantas 787-9 Bluetooth audio enabled

[QfHrGr]

I've just noticed that my QF 787-9 on VH-ZNB Waltzing Matilda flight next week is Bluetooth audio pairing capable.
Apparently they are progressively being added to the 787s per google searching.
Anyone know the progress of this plus how reliable and ease of use this new QF feature is?
This is a really pleasing improvement meaning one less item (Bluetooth adapter) to pack or accidentally leave behind for me.

Interesting. I knew it came with the more recent deliveries (ZNL-ZNN which arrived 2023) but wasn't aware of a refurb program

I noticed it was available a few weeks ago on QF6 PER-SYD in Y+. I didn't bother with it though.

If its installed, it's pretty seamlessly and easy to get working. I've had it on a couple of 787s but since i normally fly 330 routes, haven't tried it out as much.

I suspect its less of a major refurbishment and more likely a mix of potential software/firmware updates if they had hardware capabilities or maybe just some screen swaps. Likely because they had a mix of planes that had it and didn't, they probably didn't want to cause confusion and just quietly update the planes.
