Default Car Radio Upgrade and Power Door Question

So after about 14 hours I was finally able to trash my old 15-year old radio and able to install a nice new sony. It sounds incrediable, the difference is astonishing. The radio slot was too big, and the plastic dash piece was too small. I had problem after problem trying to install this thing. After some dremelling, splicing, capping...etc, Its finally working. I'd like to avoid removing it at all costs, but I want to install a blue tooth. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this and a good priced product to get?

Also, I unplugged my power doors because they were killing my car. Whether i'm in the car or not, they are constantly clicking and making noise. I'd come out of work to a dead car.The doors were unlocking by themselves! I tried looking in the door trim and see if theres something wrong with the connection, but nothing stuck out. I think its the power door relay. Does anyone know where this is (I think its back by the radio) and how to fix/replace it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
thanks, Patrick

'87 240?

Don't know about the Bluetooth but the two door relays (lock and unlock) are in the centre of the dash to the left of the glovebox.

Sorry for misleading you. I quoted what is written in my 'wher to find relays and other electrical bits book'. The relays are actually behind the dash to the left of the glovebox. Access is gained after removing the glovebox. They are fairly high up, level with the glovebox ****. Also in that area are the power window relay and the auto transmission overdrive relay.

The book shows that the first relay, next to the glovebox, is the overdrive. The next is the lock relay, then the unlock relay and furthest from the glovebox is the window relay.
