Had a first gen ATT Moto Razr V3. Upgraded to the Razr V3xx last year and my HFL freezes everytime I try to pair it. I gave up

 

Does anybody know if the new Palm Centro from Verizon will pair to the TL? I have a 2005 TL, and I was thinking about buying the Palm Centro. Right now I have the Motorola Krzr, and everything work fine (Display battery and Signal length).

 

Has anyone tried the Samsung Instict with the HFL yet? I'll be getting one but I have to wait a while.

 

I have been using a LG Musiq for the last couple weeks without any issue. Phone number is displayed for incoming and outgoing calls. The battery and antenna signal strength indicators work too. No problems picking up or hanging up calls.

2004 Non-navi TL

 

My Motorola RIZR Z3 (AT&T) works perfectly in my 07 TL-S. Though, I've never actually seen this phone sold in the US...

 

I went through 3 phones with verizon before I got the LG VX8350.
Per Acura's HandsFree Link tech dept it is the most complete Verizon phone for the car.
Using the phone book is a great help.
I was very surprised how accomodating Verizon was

 

Has anyone paired the Samsung Blast?

 

I've had the Palm Centro paired with my 07 tls for a few mths. now. Works great, never a problem. What you need to know is that you won't be able to import the phonebook but the caller I.D., signal and strength work fine.

 

Have you transfer your Phonebook? if You did , did you figured out how to dial from the NAV (using touchscreen), my was Grayed out.

Not sure if anyone else have this issue.

 

Anyone try to link a Verizon LG Dare Vx9700? It's not listed yet on the HFL website. I e-mailed them and they said that it has passed initial testing, but testing is not complete yet so they cannot vouch.

 

Thank you for the info. I really appreciate it.

 

I too want to purchase a Samsung M800 Instinct and want to know if anyone has had any success pairing this with their TL. Please let me know. they say this phone is comparable to the Apple I Phone. See the link
www.nowisgood.com for a preview of the phone.

 

usually greyed out means the feature is not compatabile with your phone.
If you were able to transfer the phone book you should be able to topuch the entry and it will transfer to the HF phone

 

I want to know the same. I would have had the phone by now but I work for Sprint and employees are not allowed to purchase the Instinct yet due to the current high demand and stores running out of stock. I looked on the Acura site and they have the M800 as pending (under testing).

I have had the chance to play with the phone and it is awesome. Maybe I can try to convince the guys at the on campus store to let my try to pair a demo phone to my car.

 

Good news on the Samsung Instinct! I was able to convince the guys at the Campus retail store to let me pull my car up and try to pair with one of their demo phones. They said that wouldn't be a problem. I set the HFL up to pair and he was running the phone. At first it didn't pair but he restarted the pairing process on the phone and it paired immediately. Both the sales rep and I had bluetooth active on our phones while sitting in the car so that could have interfered with the pairing process on the first attempt. I didn't have time to test all the features but here is what did work:

Signal
Battery Life
Incoming #

I made an outgoing call and did an incoming call. Both worked fine. The only thing that I thought was a little on the shy side was the voice over the speaker system didn't come through as loud as normal (compared to my Katana). It's possible it could be that it was due to calling the demo phone from my phone which my car also recognized as being present or maybe the instict had the headset volume turned down. Since I wasn't handling the demo phone didn't have a chance to experiment further.

Hope this helps anyone interested in that phone. I know I'll be purchasing one as soon as employees are allowed to. I'm so glad this works with our HFL! I would have been so disappointed if it had not.

 

Does anyone have the LG Vu and does it work with their TL? I am going to be switching my cellphone carrier to AT&T in a few months and am looking at getting the LG Vu (model number cu915 & cu920). I have a 2004 TL and currently have T-Mobile and am using a Samsung t-809 which works for incoming and outgoing calls (although it says it is not supported). It only shows incoming or out going numbers, no battery or signal strength meter.

Hopefully someone has the LG Vu with AT&T and can confirm whether it works or not with a 2004 TL. It is not listed on the Acura Bluetooth HFL webiste at all. Thanks in advance for anyone that can confirm!

 

Buda, thank you for that information. I checked the acura website and see that information on this Sprint Instinct phone was pending. So I appreciate your help about pairing. I am very excited about getting that phone. Sucks that you cannot get one until later on, being a Sprint employee. Hopefully the longer you have to wait the better they will refine it. Thanks again.

Think the question has already been asked...but anyone pair the Verizon LG Dare...I have a 2004 Acura TL...thx.

 

Just a quick question, What year acura did you pair the Samsung Instinct with? and was it with navigation?

 

I bought a Motorola Z6cx for use on Verizon Wireless last month; this is the "world" phone that can use the CDMA and EV-DO networks in North America as well as the GSM networks everywhere else (if you pop in a SIM card). Phone has NO camera, something I've wanted for years. Works fine so far with the HFL with one bug—the MID always shows the "Roam" indicator (an "RM" directly underneath the signal strength meter). This is odd because the phone itself has never showed "Roam" since I got it. Obviously, the mere fact that the HFL says "Roam" doesn't mean you're necessarily roaming, but this could be a potential annoyance for users who live in areas where they might frequently enter roaming territory. I need to check the manual to see whether the phone provides any sort of audible signal when you enter roaming territory (or whether there is an option to have it do that); if it does, this would render the issue a total non-issue for me.

Otherwise, I've been quite chuffed with this phone, and the only problem I've had is that I need to remember to turn off the Bluetooth when I get out of the car. My prior phone, a RAZR V3m, turned off the Bluetooth automatically.

 

i just purchased this one and its sitting at home just waiting for me to set her up. once things are working i will give an update.

 

I have an '06 TL and it does have a navi unit. I just used the phone setup pair command after activating the HFL.

 

Wondering if the N82 is compatible with an Acura TL non-navi 2004? I saw it works on a 2005 from searching.

 

Thx...let me know...just checked out the phone..seems real nice, love to get it.

 

My new iPhone 3G works perfect with my 2005 TL

 

Ugh.

I'm having problems getting my iphone 3g to work with my 2005 tl.

 

Actually....I tried again and it works now. YAY!

 

My iphone 3G works great too, however... were you guys able to linkup to the Acura servers? I can't seem to make it work.

 

Acura servers?!

What year is your car?

 

Same here with a 2006

 

Just picked up a LG Dare and linked it to my Handsfreelink without any problems. I have a 2004 Acura TL...all the functions work fine....no reason to wait for official certification...

 

me too, all worked without a problem. it does at times tell me that it is either out of range or there is no bluetooth device to link too, but it will usually work after a few tries. this is a great phone btw...

 

Same here, my new Verizon Dare works perfectly in my '05 TL!

 

Nokia 6301
Battery Signal - Yes
Signal Strength - Yes
Pair - Yes
Voice Calling - Issues. Connects and disconnects often. Works when it wants too. It does show the car icon on the phone when connected but drops calls often.

If anybody knows of a fix or work around please let me know. Thanks Using phone on an Acura TL 06

 

I just paired my new Samsung Instinct with no problems - display even shows battery strength that my old phone would not.

 

Sorry if there's a huge post on this but couldn't find it. I have a 2006 TL and just got the new iphone 3g and it seems to be able to recognize it on the HFL and the phone, however when I give it a name to store it, it just completely quits out of the Phone Setup process. I have tried it over and over.

Anybody else have this problem and is there a solution?

Thanks in advance.

 

Ignore my previous post please. Found the answer...needed to turn off Wi-Fi before pairing.

 

I think this is my first post!

I am trying to figure a way to cheat the contacts import feature for th HFL. I must use Windows Mobile device for work (need active sync) and they will not push bluetooth (opp profile), none of the active sync devices will do this from what I understand.

My thoughts were to buy a bluetooth phone for my wife that is opp profile compatible and add my contacts to her phone and then push my contacts to the HFL. Here is my question, if I am successful, can I then pair my bluetooth windows mobile device to my HFL and then call on the imported contacts from my wifes phone? Are the contacts and number stored in the HFL able to be used with more than one paired bluetooth device?
In otherwords, pair 2 phones (mine and my wifes) and use the contacts imported to HFL from her phone, on both phones?

I would appreciate any input or suggestions on how to get the better part fo 75 contacts into my HFL making my job in field sales MUCH easier and safer.

Thanks all!

 

It seems as though you should be able to...

I have a Treo 800w which is windows mobile as well... First i was able to transfer my entire phone book over with no problems. When I transferred the phone book, you click search phonebook and then it'll ask you which phonebook, you'd select your wife's, but you could still call on the active phone (which would be yours). I imagine this would work... If you'd like I could perhaps try this at lunch, since my phone is paired. I'll just pair a friend's phone and see if i can call a number from my phonebook on their phone.
