FYI, in a note to dealers:

Acura is working with Apple to iron out the compatibility issues.

 

No surprise there.

I'm due to get my iPhone 6 this Friday - as long as I can still pair with the car and make/receive calls via bluetooth I'm okay.

 

Just received email from "Acura Client Relations" w/ exactly the same message as Colin provided above.

 

I got the email too.

This is 100% their fault - a bunch of my other apps have been iOS-compatible for some time, or updated in recent days.

I'd be pissed if I paid the money Acura wants for AcuraLink Connect/Premium.

More incompetence.

 

I never understood why people race out to upgrade there new iOS considering there is almost always 1 or several patches after release. You have a perfectly good working iOS why rush out to upgrade and be the guinea pigs.

I know kind of ironic that I'm posting that on a forum advertising a new TLX lol.

 

^LOL, it's fun being the guinea pig!

 

Cause they still young and energetic.

 

I do it because I need something to make me look cool now that I'm middle aged, balding, and 15 pounds overweight.

 

My twin! I stay one step behind the newest stuff as far as gadgets go. I am on a Galaxy 4S, got it when the 5S came out.

What cracks me up is the people that will wait in line for a week/camp out to get the latest phone/game console/game/etc.

 

I will be upgrading from my Iphone 5c to the 6, not because I have to have the latest things, but because its bigger and I feel the 5 is to small. As far as IOS updates go I've never had a problem with one. Not gonna lie though, I get pretty excited whenever Apple announces a new product!

 

My wife and I have 4s's so this will be a nice upgrade for us - both speed-wise and size-wise! We pre-ordered so they should be in on Friday!!

 

I am having issues with iphone 6 on my TLX and 15 MDX. The phone pairs fine but disconnects hands free when the call is picked up.

 

Same here....going to have to wait for a software fix. Audio via bluetooth works fine.

 

I haven't had any issues so far with the iPhone 6

 

I found a solution to the IOS8 Bluetooth issue. All you have to do is on iPhone go to general>Reset> reset all settings. Then try repairing the phone to the vehicle. It worked for me with no issues.

 

Blue tooth synced new iPhone 6 yesterday to 2014 RLX/ Phone functions work fine but can not stream music via bluetooth to car audio: The car can not settle on the song I select on my phone/car screen - just keeps scrolling frantically.

 

But doesn't that reset the iPhone to new factory settings, deleting all apps, data, etc.?

 

Took me three tries to get mine to pair initially but once paired it imported my phone book and I was able to call out with no problems. Haven't tried to stream via bluetooth yet - will try later today during the grocery run.

 

Only reset the settings do not choose to erase all data. But as always back up all data to your computer/iCloud before you mess with the reset option.

 

This worked for me! TSX 2014 base.

 

I'm happy to report BT streaming from the iPhone 6 works as designed. Sounds pretty good too!

 

This worked. Thanks

 

With my old '09 TSX I routinely found it necessary to after iOS upgrades to remove and re-pair the device after experiencing numerous oddities, such as the hangups referred to above, dialing the phone but then using the phone's mic and speakers, etc.

When I upgraded my iPhone 5 on Wednesday I saw similar issues on my new TLX. Removing and re-addding did the trick (resetting the phone was not necessary.

When I replaced the phone two days later w/ an iPhone 6 it worked right out of the box as expected.

 

I figured I'd revisit this as I have found that repairing the device doesn't necessarily "fix" the situation.

Over the past week I have found that my iPhone 6 has, on multiple occassions, exhibited the same problem that SPARETIRE mentioned...Once you dial, HandsfreeLink "hangs up" but the phone continues the call and there's no way to transfer the call back to HFL. In addition, if someone calls you, HFL will not recognize it.

I have found that simply turning off Bluetooth on the device and turning it back on (via the iOS Control Center is the fastest way) will resolve the situation for at least as long as the car is running. I have actually gotten in the habit of calling my office voicemail to see if it's working of if I need to do the repair each and every time I get in the car.

Needless to say, none of us should need to test this stuff each time we get in the car. I'll be calling the HFL folks on Monday.

 

Has anyone figured out how to get an incoming caller's photo to appear on screen, as mentioned in the owner's manual? There is an on/off setting for this in the TLX settings, but with my iPhone 5 or iPhone 6- (with iOS 7 or 8), I cannot get my contact photos to appear.

 

I wanted to find out if the Siri hands free option is actually useful on the TLX. I've got a Galaxy Note 3 right now and am considering flipping over to the IPhone 6 Plus.


Are you folks using it much?

 

I have never seen the contacts photos either. There is compatibility issues ! You can't have the texts either with the iPhone's. No big deal.

 

I have been wondering about that for some time. That would be nice. It feels it got left out of production even though this option is in the manual.

Everything works fine with my Galaxy S4 on 4.4.2 and then on 4.4.4. I've heard it also works fine on 5.0. Bluetooth and texting works 100%. Having caller photos would be icing on the cake.
