Has anyone managed to get the data link feature to work? I've tried with several phones that have paired via HFL but still cannot get a successful data link. Any insight?

 

This will only work with cell phones that you can pair to your computer for internet access (it's a similar task). The only time I've gotten this to work is with one of my old blackberry's on AT&T. It won't work for the iPhone until they enable tethering.

 

I complained to Acura, Service people, & BlackBerry; (RIM), to no avail.
My 9700 TMobile Bold, supposedly works; it doesn't!
Service told me they spoke to the senior Acura electronic techs in California
Supposedly, during my next service, they have some answers; we'll see
"09/TL/Tech/WDP/Taupe/BB Bold 9700/TMobile

 

Yea, I gave up on it on my 07 when i upgraded to the iPhone... what does the datalink give you access to? What is it for?

 

It's supposed to allow you to make dealer service appointments from the car and it sends some diagnostic info back. Honestly, I bet if you actually made an appointment this way the dealership wouldn't know what to do since probably next to no one has made this work before.

I did get data tethering working on my phone with a laptop (T-Mobile), but I never got the car to successfully connect.

 

Thanks all for the input. I have two phones, a sony ericcson x1a and an iphone. The x1a would tether fine with my laptop but not with the car. And the iphone wont at all with either. I am curious to see if anyone has been successful.
