#63 of 112 08 TL/Navi - HFL unusable at highway speeds! by paruljain Apr 25, 2008 (4:38 pm)
Got my car two days back. A couple of callers complained of noise and that they could barely hear me. The signal strength was 100%, battery 100% and I was able to hear them just fine. When I transferred the call to my phone the noise was gone and they heard me fine. So it was definitely not a cell phone related problem. I have a Verizon RAZR V3c by the way.   I decided to test the system and left voice messages on my answering machine; one at 35 MPH and the other at 65 MPH. The audio quality of the message left at 35 MPH was acceptable but not great. However, there was plenty of noise at 65 MPH and the quality was unacceptable. What this means is that the other side would be very annoyed if you are taking to them using the HFL at highway speeds.   Has anyone tried hacking the HFL microphone? Change it with a different type? Add padding to isolate it better? Move it to the visor?   I had an after market stereo in my previous car, a 2000 Accord, with BT capability and I never had any issues with that in a full year of use. I am really disappointed with TL's system and hate to think that I will have to go back to a headset!   Thanks Parul
#65 of 112 Bluetooth blues by joeolds3 Jul 20, 2008 (1:16 pm)
just bought a '08 TL. The salesman helped us to get the phone paired and set up (LG CG300). All worked fine when we left the dealership. Now when you go to make an out going call it makes the call as it should, then after 1 ring it disconnects from the HFL. The call is still going on, but you have to use the handset. This problem is only for outbound calls as incoming calls work flawlessly. Anyone have a suggestion or idea. Its such a pain in the butt to take the car in for such a minimal issue.

Replying to: joeolds3 (Jul 20, 2008 1:16 pm) I have this problem on a relatively regular basis, although for me, the "trigger" is when an automated answering service picks up.   When that happens, I press the car's talk button and say "transfer" - this command transfers the call from the handset back to the car speakers. This command can also work if you need to "transfer" the call from the car speakers to the phone handset (such as for privacy).

Replying to: joeolds3 (Jul 20, 2008 1:16 pm) I'd look on the Acura web site to see if this is a documented problem with that model of phone. I have the same problem with my razor v3 XX....one ring on outgoing calls and then nothing....works fine for incoming calls.

Replying to: taxesquire (Jul 21, 2008 5:11 am) Thanks for the tip. My wife used the transfer command this am and got it to work. Later she said it worked without using the transfer command. Her phone is not on the compatible list, so I have a feeling it will be hit and miss performance until she upgrades her phone. Thanks again Replies to this message: taxesquire (Jul 23, 2008 11:34 am)

Replying to: joeolds3 (Jul 22, 2008 8:07 pm) You're welcome-glad it helped!!!   FYI - last I checked, my phone (motorolla i880) was not on the approved list (or maybe it was approved, but most of the features were listed as not compatible). The only feature I am aware of that I cannot use is the function that allows me to dial someone's number from their address listing in the nav system.
#70 of 112 importing cellular phonebook by white7 Sep 18, 2008 (9:28 pm)
I have an 08 acura TL and I brought a Samsung Gleam 700 cell phone because it was the most compatible. I got the pairing process done and entered my phonebook into the system and it excepted everything. I then had a problem getting voicemail out of the system so I decided to disconnect the phone and delete the phonebook from the system and try it all over again. I reconnected the phone to the system and then tried to import the phone book back into the system and it will not let me. The phone says bluetooth audio disconnected and the screen comes on in the car and says lost signal could not import phone book. the phone actually turns itself off and restarts itself again and that is causing the system to disconnect. Does any one have any suggestions.

#72 of 112 Problem with Voice Commands (HFL and Nav) by hthlev Sep 22, 2008 (4:58 pm)
I have just recently purchased a 2008 Acura TL with Navigation, and have had the vehicle approx 1 month. Almost 2 weeks ago, I experienced a problem with voice recognition, with both HFL and Navigation. I could press the related buttons to initiate voice recognition. However, when actually giving an audible command, no commands were accepted. Initially, when it happened, I was on the phone with Acura Service to let them know of the issue, thinking there was something that I may have inadvertantly changed, just getting use to all of the new features. After about 1/2 hour of attempt after attempt, finally I was able to get acknowledgement of an HFL command (TRANSFER), as I was speaking to service. The problem reappeared almost 1 week later; this time without being able to get voice recognition back. I feel that there is something wrong with the Audio input feature of voice commands, but that is simply from a layman's perspective. The car is now at the dealer (having been able to duplicate the problem for one of the service reps when I got there). Now they tell me that they can not duplicate the problem and that it is functioning yet once again. Does anyone have a suggestion? I do not feel comfortable just picking the car up, having had the issue more than once.
