I have a 2005 TL base and I cannot for the life of me get my new Samsung Galaxy S4 to pair to the handsfree link. Has anyone had any luck doing this with this phone.

 

I have an 04 and had no issues pairing my s4.

 

I have an 07 TL-S and it will not find my phone either.

 

I've got an 08 tl-s and have no issues pairing up my sprint s4

 

How did u do it because I ran through the steps how I paired my other phones and the phone won't recognize a bluetooth device

 

I got mine to work.

Press the talk button on the steering wheel.
Say "Phone setup"
Say "Pair"
Say whatever pin code

While the HFL is trying to pair, you have to scan for bluetooth devices with your phone also having the box checked to make it visible. HFL should come up on your phone. Select it and enter the PIN, then the HFL will confirm that it's connected.

 

I don't know how many previous phones you've connected, and I don't know if there is a limit. But you can also delete phones you don't want to connect automatically anymore by saying "phone setup", and then "delete". Or "phone setup" and then "list" if you don't remember the names you gave previous phones.

 

I copied the following from the manual:

HFL does not allow you to pair your phone if the vehicle is moving.
For pairing, your phone must be in its Discovery mode.
Up to six phones can be paired to the HFL

I hope this helps

 

My S4 links with my car perfectly...Go to dealer usually they will do it for you if you can't figure it out.

 

I cleared my car of all previous phones still won't pair

 

Try calling tech support for the handsfree link, 1.888.528.7876

I just CONFIRMED with Acura HFL Support that the 2005 Acura TL does NOT support Sprint's Galaxy S4. What kind of crap is that? Samsung needs to make their equipment backwards compatible!!

Start sending your letters to Samsung!!

This is the first (but major) negative I have with the S4!

 

Are you guys sure? I have an 06 and from my old Nokia N82 to My HTC Desire Z to my new Samsung Note 2. I have no problem pairing it up and all the features seem to work.

 

Any updates on this?
I also have an 06 Acura with AT&T galaxy s4 and no luck pairing. I have paired about 10 phones before this with the same car and I deleted them all before I start trying for the galaxy. No luck.

 

I used acura TL 2005 and I have Samsung galaxy S5 and I tried to connect it to my car HFL through the bluetooth and I scan for the HFL on my phone my phone did not detect the HFL anybody with such should plssssss help me out

 

walescare- if your phone does not see the unit, more than likely the unit is bad. many threads on this around here on how to deal with the bad unit.

 

Anyone had any luck with this?
