Am I missing something here? Does anybody have any experience with these built in intercoms?

I just went through something similar last month. My first question, is that intercom stereo or mono? Just 10 years ago that wasn't important (my intercom is mono) but today you'll miss out on some things available now and in the near future if you don't have stereo and Bluetooth.
These were my options:
I had to either replace my mono intercom with a stereo one
Buy an adapter to make it stereo
Buy an adapter to add Bluetooth
Buy a current audio panel
I just added a audio mixer and was done but you might want to give it just a little more though since you have time.
