I am having trouble linking the hands free phone system on the 2006 TSX to my new cellphone. The cellphone has bluetooth technology and is the Treo 700W made by Palm for Verizon. The phone is a PDA and phone combination. For some reason the TSX will not recognize my phone so am unable to link the two even when following instructions to the letter. Have heard there might be problems like this with Blackberry phones also. Rumor is there might be a device that allows successful linkage. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on making this work?

 

Don't have the link in front of me, but if you go to the Acura owner's website, there is information on Hands Free Link, in particular a list of cell phones that have been tested for compatibility.

Here are the phone-specific instructions from HandsFreeLink.com:

On the Treo,

 

Thanks for your suggestions. Seems it is a bit tricky connecting hands free system of Acura to Treos but is definitely possible. Must tap "shift" key before inputting each digit of the 4 digit code on the treo. If do not tap "shift" auto will not recognize code because keypad on treo defaults to alphabet not numerics.

 

I'm contemplating on getting a 700w myself. Are you happy with the phone?

Anyway, this makes sense especially if the code is "hidden".

 

MY phone, sony ericsson s710a was not listed but I got it to work without a hitch

 

Love the Treo 700w - highly recommend it! Must fit cell, pagers, PDA and manuals all in my white coat pocket for work. So much easier to carry 700. Very user friendly.

 

Had the same problem... this thread got it done! Thanks for posting the procedure. I had forgotten to hit the SHIFT!

Happy New Year everyone!
