I'm wondering if anyone knows if an ECU update for Bluetooth fixes the spotty connection issues, or just improves the BT in general? I guess I should be thankful I haven't had any of the more serious BT issues that I've read about in this forum.

Check out the owners manual, the long ass one it has a ton of information that can help you. The Acura owners website also has old ass videos on how to operate our generation system. There is even a website for it too.

The ECU doesn't control Bluetooth, the HandsfreeLink module does.
Thanks thoiboi - then I'll ask the obvious, can code be updated or is there an updated replacement module?

You could always get a new HFL altogether but it's doubtful that they changed anything and it may just be a stopgap replacement. I'd personally recommend installing a bluetooth Aux adapter so that you can stream music as well (Does the RDX have an Aux port?)

It will be the same unit, they wouldn’t update it. They have been known to die or not work well after a while on a few vehicles on here. I think you might be able to find a thread on it. Up to you if it’s worth it to get a new one or a aux cord portable one.
Turns out it was my previous htc One M8 that couldn't connect reliably, although I didn't have a problem with other BT devices. I bought a Google Pixel 2 XL this year and it connects immediately and reliably. - go figure!
