Anyone kow why Verizon is not listed as a link choice?

Please explain "link" choice? Do you mean Bluetooth? My Verizon phone paired up perfectly.

Just because Verizon is not listed, doesn't mean it won't work. You just have to custom program it and your phone has to support it. I posted instructions in here somewhere before....

And I paired it with a Treo 700W.

He is not talking about pairing a verizon phone with HFL. He is trying to setup the Acuralink connection.

JMJ3rd

Thanks. I'll look for the instructions.

Sasair,

I have searched the site, where can I find "how to"?

JMJ3rd

I think this is it. I'll try it.

Okay, I bought my car in a hurry. I didn't do much research on the RDX because I didn't consider it until 48 hours before I bought it. I thought it was too small (from the outside) when I saw one on the street, plus I thought it was too low to the ground, too close to being as low as a sedan. So I haven't the foggiest about Acurallink. What is the advantage of this Acuralink connection? What purpose does it serve? Are we talking about the Internet here? Why would we want to access the Internet in a moving vehicle?

This may help.

Hmmm. Interesting. This Acuralink sounds kind of like Onstar with my Saturn Outlook XR. I get a monthly diagnostic report in email or can ask for one at any time. I can also press a button anytime, anywhere, and get a live person on the line. There is no Bluetooth capability, but I can make and receive hands free calls without having a cell phone nearby. My Outlook has its own phone number.

I like Onstar. We have had it on several vehicles. I wish these had it too. But that is why I'm trying to get Acuralink to work. It doesn't have the dedicated number or live help, but it can "talk" to the car.

dombey

so if I read all of this correctly, the only advantage to setting all of this up is that your car can send trouble codes to Acura? Any other functionality that I should be aware of?

JMJ3rd

Not really. I just "want" it to work if I can get it to work.
