A software tool and method implementing an application program interface (API) for adding Bluetooth wireless functionality to a user interface module are provided. The A software development kit (SDK) provides a layered framework that defines a plurality of interacting software layers for communicating data and commands between a user interface module and a Bluetooth communications stack. The SDK includes a number of pre-coded API function modules for implementing various interface functions. A plurality of pre-coded Bluetooth function mapping instruction sets are provided for mapping function calls from the API function modules to the Bluetooth communications stack. The layered framework may include an API layer; a Bluetooth adaption layer, a PIM module or PIM adaption layer, and a voice recognition/text-to-speech module. The API function modules are identified and exposed in a Bluetooth API layer according to a simplified command syntax associated with the SDK.
