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....

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

Sasair,

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

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?

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.

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?

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