I saw you other posts regarding HFL problems. If you can reboot your phone, that is the first thing to try before attempting to replace BT module.

The right front kickplate is the passnger side footwell, the plastic panel to the right, just forward of the door opening.

Details are in the GARAGE sticky > Service Manual link >

How old is the battery? If the car was completely dead, you need to drive atleast 30-35 min to fully charge the battery. Also get your alternator checked.

so it might be your hfl module. I think it's under right passenger kick panel. Are your door handles (outside) lock/unlock working?

I think it should be there, because our cars are almost same as the American versions with some extra features.
