Top of right screen

On the top of the right screen where it displays your phone battery, signal strength, etc.... There is a small number that usually displays “+1” or “+2”. Can anyone tell me what this is for?

Maybe the key fob associated with a given driver?

I guess I had not noticed that before... I went through the manual and it mentions nothing about it.

Not the FOB as I’ve seen it change while in the car

Do you have more than one phone paired?

No but, now that you say that, I wonder if it was because my wife was in the car and it was showing all Bluetooth devices within range.

Could it be a notification for text messages or voicemails via Apple car play?

mine shows +1 when phone not connected, so probably nothing to do with Apple CarPlay?

I figured out today that you can select the top right menu. So the +1/2/3 has something to do with that. Use the right side track pad and select the top part. Click and it shows a list of various things. One of which is notifications. I deleted some and it still showed +2 so I don’t know. Someone smarter than me can expire but you can certainly select that area of the infotainment.

I've been trying to figure that out as well. I searched through the manual and there is nothing specific that I can find regarding the icons. Obviously there are the phone signal strength and battery, the bluetooth icon and maybe one is for the Hotspot? But the +1 and +2 I can't figure out. I know it's not a fob indicator, because my Fob #2 has never left that cabinet in my kitchen since I got the car.

I think it’s how many devices are connected. When my phone is connected via Bluetooth and my iPod via usb, it shows a 2. When only I’ll keep you posted phone is plugged in or on Bluetooth it shows a 1.

The +1, +2, etc indicate stored messages. Check your Acuralink for messages.

It's not messages. I figured it out today while I was waiting for my wife to come out of work.

It's how many other notifications are stacked! If you slide your finger up the side touch pad until that area is orange, then click, you will get a menu on the right (large portion of the screen) that identifies every icon! There is only so much room to show them, so the +1 and +2 tell us that there are two other icons for notifications.

Try it.

Here’s a clip to show that the +1/2 is connected devices. I have my phone on Bluetooth and iPod hardwired via usb and when I unplug the iPod it goes to +1.

Case closed. 😂

Not really, look at the jpeg I added to my post. Hey, it's not a competition. We're all in this together. The number goes up when you connect another device because another notification icon is added, not because the connection was made.

I agree with this. I just picked up my RDX and I was activating the acuralink. I was +1 until i had them sending codes to the car. Then I noticed that it showed +2. I then went into the notifications page just like you explained. I deleted the most recent notification and it returned to +1 again. What I found to be strange was i kept trying to delete the last notification remaining, but i wouldn't go less than +1 for some reason.

I noticed that today as well. For some reason my phone did not connect, so there were only two icons and a +1. I went to the list and there were only 3 listed. Strange, but that must be how they wrote the software.
