The bluetooth on the car should not cost 800 dollars to fix! especially when it stops working right out of warranty! We have 20 dollar blue tooth devices in 2017. Get out of the stone age acura!
After setting up the bluetooth system, it was blissful. Hands free was also a safety concern that I no longer had to worry about. I work in the business world, and need to be on my phone a lot. When this feature went out, I was disappointed.
I HAD TO REPLACE NEW BATTERY. LUCKILY, IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS GIVEN A NEW ONE. AGAIN THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED, SOMETHING WAS CAUSING IT TO DRAIN. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STARTER.
I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THERE WERE OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME TYPE OF ISSUES. I CALLED ACURA SERVICE AND THEY CONFIRMED IT. I WANTED TO REPLACE THE MODULE BUT IT WOULD COST $700. I DECLINED TO FIX IT AND DISABLED IT. GOT BATTERY RECHARGED AND NO MORE PROBLEMS.
I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THERE WERE COUNTLESS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2006 ACURA TL. ALSO THE COST TO REPLACE IT IT'S ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS. I UNDERSTAND PARTS WEAR AND BREAK BUT THE BLUETOOTH WAS HARDLY EVER USED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT PAIR WITH THE NEWER CELL PHONES, ONLY THE OLDER MODELS...TOTALLY WORTHLESS TECHNOLOGY.
I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE BUT IT WILL NOT BE ANOTHER ACURA. I LOST MY TRUST IN HONDAS AND HAVE BEEN BUYING THEM FOR YEARS BUT NO MORE. I WILL CONSIDER BMW, AUDI OR INFINITY AND DOING RESEARCH ON THESE MODELS. I HOPE THAT ACURA LISTENS TO THESE COMPLAINTS AND FIX THE PROBLEMS AND KEEP FUTURE COSTUMERS HAPPY.

BT worked great until a few weeks ago, then it would no longer "pair" with my phone. Tested with 3 other phones - same result - tested "good phone" to "good phone" and they can link to each other without a problem. Self-diagnostics (hold "call" and "cancel" buttons down for 10 seconds) says it's fine but obviously that is not the case. Real PITA. I used the voice call feature multiple times a day and yes, while I CAN use a visor-mounted, headset-mounted or earpiece-style BT, it is constant reminder that the one built into the car does not work.
Dealer says to replace the BT module in the roof console at $700. Not going to happen. I get that stuff can fail - really, I got it but $700 to replace a $50 (at most) module? I don't think so. So, while they might have gotten $200 of my money to fix it (an hour of labor plus the part for example), now they don't get any. #reallyacurareally

Whole Navi system and Bluetooth system failed. Not worth fixing since it's so outdated.
