bluetooth/ handfree link not working

My bluetooth and handsfree links have suddenly stopped working on my 2009 tsx. When I press the AUX button the bluetooth option does not come up also when I press the handfree link button the steering wheel, nothing pops up as well. Is there a way to turn off the speaker system and turn it back on? Also does anyone have a tutorial or know where the bluetooth/handsfree link module is located?

The stock system is glitchy in my experience anyway. I also have a 2009.

When this happens I have to turn the ignition off, I wait for a minute, turn the car to the on position, wait for the CEL to turn off, then start the car. This is a habit for me and I make sure that I can press the call button and see hands free link pop up, because if it doesn't pop up then bluetooth isn't going to work.

I have noticed I get better performance from the bluetooth system if I leave bluetooth turned off in my phone, then only turn it on once the engine is running and the stereo has had several seconds to boot. Then I enable blue tooth and connect. This also resolved any skipping/connection/disconnect issues while streaming music.

Check Engine Light.

The Hands Free Link module is behind the glovebox.

the hands free link is below the glovebox underneath the kick panel. you have to remove the left kick panel.

message me if you guys a better explanation of where it is located. I replace the hands free link and it started to work again. buy the part from eBay not the dealer. cost a lot of money.
