My 2005 MDX has worked perfectly with Hands Free until today. There is no connection with the HF button.

I get the same thing on occasion. I just "re-acquaint" my phone to the bluetooth via the phone bluethooth menu and it has always worked. I wouldn't try it while driving though, I had to kick it old school once and actually hold the phone up to my ear--how annoying!.
 
We're all spoiled brats. Good luck.

Just purchased a 2005 MDX. bluetooth works fine making a call, but when answering a call, the caller can hear me fine, but i do not hear them. Anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

Looking at the MDX vs the pilot. My brother-in-law has an '07 MDX and cound not complain more about the bluetooth. Apparently on his model he can only dial via voice activation, and cannot scroll or use his phone to manually dial. Is this still the same on the '09? Can you manually scroll on the steering wheel control (our X3 has this feature which is good as the voice system is impossible to use)?
 
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Since bluetooth is such a huge feature to someone who needs to use the phone a lot while driving, this could affect if we buy an MDX vs. something else.

#8 of 25 06 MDX Bluetooth Problem by luvmiatas

I was able to "pair" my Blackberry with the Bluetooth in my 06 MDX. It worked perfectly until one day it would only "pair" intermittently. I could link up...be talking and loose parity, then the phone wouldn't pair...Anyone had this annoying problem and will appreciate any feed back. I've been pleased so far, but if it appears at 54K miles I'm going to start having electronic problems...I won't be happy.

I have the 2005 Touring MDX. Nearly 2 years ago my HF stopped working altogether. Acura wanted to replace the unit for megabucks. Since then, on several occassions I'll hit the HF button and get a connection. Going back in for a "2nd opinion." Really sounds like a short in the wiring rather than a bad unit. Any one else with similar loss of HF?

I was wondering if you had any luck with your problem, since my problem is identical.
I have a Touring MDX 2005. The hands free button seems non responsive. Everyone once in a while, it will be available, but won’t stay paired. My next step is to see what wiring I can check, as well as fuses, but I don’t see anything in the manual for Hands free fuses. Thanks,

I have both a 2005 touring and 2007 MDX with RES and have experienced the same issues infrequently. To correct this in the 2005, I deleted ALL phones through the voice commands and also deleted the blue tooth entry on my phone. Shut off car with key out and then set up all fresh. One time, all I had to do was pull battery from cell phone for a FULL re boot of the phone and all worked fine after.
On the 2007, pulling the battery out of the phone seems to do the trick more often than not. ONCE I did have Acura do a full RESET to factory default on the bluetooth mechanism in the car before things came back to life.
To this day i am still disappointed in the sound quality of the 2007, 08, 09 bluetooth as it is ported through the AM radio channel which is blurry / dull sounding and hard to hear most of the time.
My 2 cents....
