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).

SOURCE: i don't have the code for the bluetooth

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."

Good luck.

SOURCE: I cannot pair my verizon

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.

Acura 2008 MDX phone blue tooth connect is grayed out

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Check for software updates for your Acura's radio or navigation system. Sometimes updates can fix issues with Bluetooth connectivity.
  6. 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.

Problems with the HFL in the acura MDX

Super easy to fix yourself. Sit in y our backseat and pull as hard as you can on the air cond controls. Pull it straight back and hard enough to make you think it could break - it won't. You'll see the top pops off easily and the bottom needs a little coaxing, just keep pulling it straight back and massage it when it needs it. Once you get that off, there is a little black box right there with a bluetooth symbol on it. The cable is really easy to remove, if you have to use force, you're doing it wrong. There is a little pressure button on the cable that will release it from the unit. That unit is what needs replacing; this is a common problem among MDX's, apparently. Anyway, you can get this part on ebay by searching for "07-11 Acura MDX HFL" without the quotes. They run about $140, it looks like.

Good luck!

Just got a new iphone. Will it sync with my 2006 mdx handsfree system? It's been a long time since I hooked up my last phone. Where do I start?

It should work off of the bluetooth on your phone, if you turn bluetooth on the sync should pick it up
