Let me be the first to welcome you to the forums! Though it looks like a toy, there's a lot of sensors and precise motor control in the S2. It's among my favorite robots at Parallax because the encoders provide allow very consistent maneuvering. Are you using it in a class, or on your own?
If you're asking about using our module http://www.parallax.com/catalog/wireless/bluetooth with the S2, then sure, it'll work. Pop the top off of your S2, cut a hole to run some F/F wires out of the hacker port and connect it. You'll need the following connections: Reset, TX, RX, CTS, RTS, Vss and Vdd. This is all available on the hacker port.
Let us know if that helps you out. I likely won't be able to return to this thread this week but there are many helpful people around here who know Parallax products better than I do.

You'll need to deviate from the GUI to code for the RN-42 Bluetooth Module. Your code will need to be written in Spin or C. The RN-42 documentation includes a BS2-IC example which could easily be ported to Propeller using the fdserial object. See http://www.parallax.com/sites/default/files/downloads/30086-RN-42-Bluetooth-Module-Guide-v1.0.pdf.
