2G RL Bluetooth Phone Compatibility
Anyone else notice this?
Broadband National Access, also known as "Voice Data Bundle" or "Data Add On"
Also note, call waiting will not work.

Nokia 5800 works, almost
My Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic paired fine and calls work well. Battery and signal levels seem accurate. The problem is that Acuralink keeps telling me it found a new phone. Very annoying. I don't have wireless internet on my phone so Acuralink won't work. Damn thing keeps trying though. There's something random about it though. Sometimes I won't ask, other times it asks before the 'don't be stupid' warning comes up, other times it comes up a few minutes into the drive.
It varies on the phone model and carrier configuration.
Check here for your car year/model + carrier + phone model to see what features you are compabable with.

Not all phones that support Hands Free Link with Bluetooth connectivity are also capable for Datalink.

Wouldn't the icon light up regardless of the phone compatibility or are the two somehow related?
Indeed the HFL website does say 'Compatible with Most Features' but if you click on the link (the phone name) you will see the details. Under Advanced Features it indicates it is not compatible with Data Connection.
2005 RL and BlackBerry Bold 9650
According to the Handsfreelink page on Acura's website the Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9650 is not compatible with a 2005 RL (or any other year RL listed there). Specifically, it says all features work except Hands Free Calling which is the most important feature for me.
1. Is that really true? Has anyone been able to make hands free calling work with the BB 9650 and RL?
2. If it is true I'm just curious what/where the problem is. Several earlier model BB phones are compatible with the 2005 RL.
Thanks.

I recently bought a Dell Streak. It pairs fine with the HFL, and battery strength and signal indicators are visible in the MID. Acuralink functionality doesn't work, as with most of the smartphones I've tried. Call quality seems to be pretty good, though the volume is a little low. Hopefully that will get fixed with the new bluetooth stack in the upcoming Android 2.2 update.
Help! I just bought the Samsung Fascinate and it works well with my 05 RL with one exception. While using the HFL, after a minute or so, the voice says, "the bluetooth link has been lost", or something to that effect. When this occurs, I cannnot hear the other party, but they can still hear me! After 20 to 30 seconds sometimes the link is fully restored by itself, and I've also been able to push the "phone" button and have it restored, but that does'nt always work. Has anyone else experienced this or found a workaround?
So I'm about to purchase both a 2005 RL and a new phone. Can anyone shed light on how the RL's bluetooth integration works? Is it a pretty easy process to get it to communicate/integrate with your phone? Thanks for any help.
Sorry so late in responding. It's an easy process to set up your bluetooth link just by following the instructions in your owners manual. Just be sure that your phone is one that has been tested good to go with your 05. (I love my 05!).
No phone book sync support, so you'll have to add the contacts manually.
I am trying to figure out how to do this. My phone is paired to the Handsfree link on my 2006 RL. I have contacts (manually added) on the RL. I can dial out using these contacts and receive calls as well.
How do you initiate a call from your phone and have the Handsfree Link pick it up. When I dial from my phone, the call goes through, but I cannot hear anything on the RL handsfree link. Is there another way to do this?
My phone here is a Blackberry 9800.

I have Iphone 4 and a RL Acura. Am trying to setup the HFP thing and it keeps tells me that the system has a code, and to enter the code that I dont no or have. How can I get around this code without going back to The Dealer. I need some help with this matter. By the way its a use car and its a 05
Thanks

Just want to report that mt 05 links up to my Boost Mobile Samsung Replenish, which I think is the cheapest Android phone out there with no contract. I paid $80 new for it. Service costs me $45 a month for unlimited everything. The signal strength and battery show on the MID, but I cannot setup acurlink. I tried the first Sprint setting, did not work, I cannot find the menu a second time to try the second Sprint setting. Boost, as well as Virgin Mobile use the Sprint network CDMA.

There are a ton of discussion about it if you search "acura link"
