Firmware updates for HFL by csfeir1

Hello everybody,
I was surprised to learn today that Acura HFL does not release any updates to their software for HFL. I don't think any software is perfect how do they fix the issues with HFL?
Also, to add audio streaming feature via bluetooth is a firmware update, why not make it available to the cars that already have bluetooth and to the customers that have phones with A2DP.
 
It does not make a business sense from a luxury car brand not offer upgrades to their HFL. Am i missing something?

I do not use Hands Free. Whenever I do people complain that I sound distant. I want to use my bluetooth/BlackBerry in the car but when I do my blackberry continues to come detecting the handsfree. It annoying. Anyway to turn bluetooth off in the 200 Acura TL?
 
Thanks.

I don't know the specific steps, but you'll need to "unlink" the phone and the car. Look for this in the car and phone manuals.

Bluetooth not BOOTING UP by k19

I have an 05 Acura TL. My bluetooth is not working. I tried holding down the the TALK button but nothing happens. I tried holding down the BACK button but nothing happens. I tried BOOTING UP but the display just keeps reading BOOTING UP. Is this something the Acura dealer needs to diagnose?
 
Thanks for you help

Sounds like it if you've had your phone successful paired already. Would you come back and post what happened? Cost, problem etc. My bluetooth has been kind of funky, sometimes not hearing my command at all, sometimes not hanging up. I'm wondering how much Acura charges for repairs.

The solution was simple:
1. Delete paired device from phone
2. Remove battery from the phone, wait 10 seconds and replace. This will reset the phone and the Bluetooth connection.
3. Pair phone to the HandsFreeLink
If this does not work hit the menu botton for the HandsFreeLink and give the command"System Clear". This will clear the system of all phones, phone numbers and recorded voice commands and will reset to the default settings. Once this is done repeat the 3 steps above to reset the phone.

Any luck with the Bluetooth? I just bought an 04 TL yesterday; I didn't try the Bluetooth feature until I got the home. I've got the same problem. When I push the button, it doesn't "Beep" or anything.
 
I don't see how I can "reset" the system, if it's not accepting commands, as the guy above suggested; maybe I'm not understanding correctly....
 
Any thoughts anyone?
 
Thx in advance!

I got my bluetooth system to respond a couple of times, but was unable to set up my phone. Right now it's not working at all. I guess I have to take it to the Acura dealer to get it diagnosed. Have you had any luck getting your system to work? Did you take your car to the Acura dealer?
 
Thanks ">link title
