Can anyone tell me where the HandsFreelink/Bluetooth module is located in a 2014 RDX Tech? I’ve tried searching the forums and seen the question asked a few times but without successful answers…
My Bluetooth module just died the other day (all phone-related menu options suddenly grayed out, and diagnostics menu shows a big red NG), and I’d like to try and replace it myself instead of forking over $800+ to the dealership. I tried opening the passenger side panel on the center console area as suggested in this post about a 2007 RDX but in my car that’s where the Active Noise Control Module is.
I have a copy of pages 9 and 10 (of 16) of this section of the manual (thanks to Dave), but it doesn't mention the physical location. I think I've seen it here on the forum, but I can't say where; there is a thread talking about updating the entire system with a non-OEM package, and some have done it. You should be able to find it Wish I could be more help.
RFT!!!

Thank you altair47, and everyone else for your help! Found and successfully removed the Bluetooth control module.
For anyone else needing the same info for their 2014 RDX, the HFL/HFT Bluetooth unit is located under the front right kick panel. Just pop off the lower panel under the glove box, and pop up the door sill trim to allow the kick panel to pop off as well. All clips, no screws. Bluetooth module held on with 2 10mm bolts. Factory module part number is 39770-TX4-A21(0-M1). Looking on OEM parts sites, looks like this part has been replaced by a newer -A22 part going for ~$650. Luckily found an -A21 on eBay for $75 so I’ll try that out first. Wish me luck!
