If the Bluetooth connection and HFL (HandsFreeLink) option on your 2008 Acura MDX are grayed out, it may be due to a few different causes. Here are some possible solutions:
Check to make sure that your phone is compatible with the Bluetooth system in your Acura. If your phone is not compatible, it will not be able to connect.
Make sure that the Bluetooth feature on your Acura is turned on. If it is not, you will not be able to connect your phone.
Make sure that your phone's Bluetooth feature is turned on and that it is in pairing mode. If it is not, you will not be able to connect.
Make sure that the phone is not already paired to another device. If it is, it will not be able to connect to your Acura.
Check for software updates for your Acura's radio or navigation system. Sometimes updates can fix issues with Bluetooth connectivity.
If your Acura was recently serviced, the technician may have disconnected the battery, which could cause the settings to be lost. In this case, you may need to have the settings reset by a Acura dealership.
If the problem persist, it may be necessary to take your vehicle to an Acura dealership to have it checked and repaired if necessary.
Your Hands Free Link unit has probably died. It's in the compartment above the rear view mirror where the front cabin lights are. They cost a couple hundred bucks and aren't too hard to swap out (there are a couple good videos on youtube detailing the procedure).
I had the same problem..the setting that is on the phone as a battery saving device...the Geek phone guy guy at Acura turned it off and my phone got synced. I was about to throw the whole thing out the window. My MDX is a 2007
You need to make your phone "discoverable" to your bluetooth. Go to settings menu on phone , then wireless and networks. Click on bluetooth settings and click " discoverable mode". The car will never find your phone if your phone is not discoverable. Hope it helps.
Hi,
If you got an owner's manual with the X, check page 172 for "clearing the system".
If not, the manual says to Press and releas the top of the TALK/BACK button. After the beep, say "System." The HFL will respond is, "System options are setup and clear." Press and release the "TALK/BACK button. After the beep, say "Clear." This process will clear all paired phones, all phonebook entries , and clear the passcode. Is this what you would like to do?" Press and release the TALK/BACK button. After the beep, say "Yes." The HFL will respond "Preparing to clear all paired phones, all phonebook entries, and the passcode. This may take up to 2 minutes to complete." Press and release the TALK/BACK button. After the beep, say "OK" to proceed or say "go back" or "Cancel. If you say "OK," after a short period of time, the HFL response is, "System has been cleared. Returning to the main menu."
