My 2009 MDX Bluetooth HandFree Link (HFL) Has stopped Working

My phone can't connect to the bluetooth and when I pressed the button to access HFL, there is no response.
I had a Garmin GPS with bluetooth hooked up in my car and my phone was paired to that GPS and then my HFL stopped working. It looks to me that HFL was disabled or lost power. However I can not find any way to re-enable it or power cycle it. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Your bluetooth unit has went bad. To get this fixed, you will need to pull the unit out of the rear center console and bake in the oven. I have the same year MDX with the same issue. Please search the 2nd gen MDX forum for step by step instructions on how to bake the HFL unit.

i tried baking mie on my TL twice with no success... its works for 1 day and back to "Booting up"

On the other hand, now thats its cold here, it started working again! I guess the metal contracts and rebuilds the bad connection somehow.

I'm going to buy a new one eventually.
