I had the infamous "Booting Up" error for my Handsfree link. Also the diagnostic screen (Guide, Menu and Cancel) showed red for HFL. I installed a new HFL unit today. The diagnostics screen shows that it is good (it's green) but I'm getting a "No Information available" in the gauge screen. Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do next?

 

hard ECU reset? battery pull?

 

uninstall then reinstall!?

 

Have you started the HFL setup to pair a phone yet?

If not, start with "set up" to pair a phone.

If yes, what happens?

 

I pulled the negative cable for 30 minutes; that didn't help. I tried re-installing; that didn't help. When I give the command "phone setup:, it does nothing.

 

When you push on the HFL activation switch, does it generate a beep?

If yes, say "system" and follow the prompts which follow.

If no, check to make sure the HFL connector is securely plugged in-- remove the HFL bezel, then unplug and reconnect the HFL.

 

Yes, the system generates a beep. When I say "system" it goes to screen setup. If I say "phone setup" it does nothing.

 

Good-- that means the HFL is working.

Once you say "system," the HFL should respond with "options are 'setup' and 'clear'" before it starts to guide you through the phone pairing process.

See page 195+ of your owner's manual, or in the on-line owner's manual at: http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/p...707O00189A.pdf .

 

Will Y: thank you for trying but so far nothing has worked. When I push the TALK button I get a beep and system performs commands for the nav, radio and A/C but not the phone. When I say "System" it goes to screen setup. If I say "phone setup" it does nothing. According to the diags screen the HFL unit is good; it's just not registering with the system.

 

Silly question, but are you pushing the talk button for the Navi or the HFL?
The reason I ask is because Navi voice command will activate the screen setup, but not phone setup, on my 2005.

The Navi voice command switches are adjacent to the HFL switches, but each switch is independent and controls only one system or the other.

 

It turns out it wasn't a silly question. Thank you for asking the right one. Now I feel like an idiot.

 

^We all make mistakes! Glad it wasn't a bigger problem!


I don't have Navi......

 

You aren't an idiot because you can now talk hands-free, unlike the idiots who are driving around holding their phones to their heads.

 

Will Y. always to the rescue!!!!!!!!
