Same request here as Linda, could there be a way to desactivate the
bluetooth system? I do feel bluetooth in my head and it gives me big
headaches. Pilot 2013. With lot of exposition to cell phone, bluetooth and
wif-fi in the past, I don’t support constant microwave frequency anymore. I
think that I will ask the dealer to install a switch our the cable going to
the bluetooth cartridge.

Linda Hillger says:

Bummed! Wish the system has an “Airport Mode” like an iphone. Trying to
limit kids from constant barrage of Radio frequency and microwave frequency
– Cell Towers, home WIFI, Smart meters, etc. As a parent, I will need to
have the system disabled in my Brand new vehicle until they come up with a
system that allows users to temporarily disable it.

AUCRATECH93722 says:

you can unplug it and try to replug it back from in and may work got a but
or stay locked up in which case it will need to be replaced

Randy Morel says:

My 07 TL Bluetooth has been saying booting up for about 2 years now.. Does
my unit need to be replaced or can it be reset in anyway to get it to work

Stephen Overton says:

Thanks for the response.

AUCRATECH93722 says:

@funkmaster you have a different issue you need to have the system scanned
by acura or honda

AUCRATECH93722 says:

@ jim I would do a parasitic draw test. we see a lot of lock switches fail
on these also. if the hfl or ac clutch was the issue it would not make it
over night

AUCRATECH93722 says:

@stephanoverton. the hfl is going out replace it

Stephen Overton says:

I have an 07 TL S and my HFL has been acting up. I noticed I can give the
overhead console a friendly tap and it will come back on. I am thinking
something is just lose but do you think it’s just going bad?

AUCRATECH93722 says:

Unplug the HFL unit

funkmaster100 says:

2009 rl hfl won’t deactivate radio won’t turn on

AUCRATECH93722 says:

the relay is a issue that can cause a draw.. you have another issue.

Jim Bjorklund says:

Ic. Well my handsfree link is inoperable. My car battery also dies within
5-6 days if not drove. Is it your guess thst it is the hfl causing the
draw, and not the ac clutch relay?

Jim Bjorklund says:

Acuratech could you please expand on the AC clutch relay issue? My AC will
cool great but kicks on and off constantly at idle. Is this the issue you
speak of?

AUCRATECH93722 says:

Since the price has come down drastically I would buy a brand new one from
acura. Less then 225 I think.

Anjuan Robison says:

Where can I find a replacement for an 04 tl?

AUCRATECH93722 says:

@shawn dady I do not have one for the mdx as these rarely fail. The only
ones we seen fail at my dealer was the 07-08 and the TL’S

AUCRATECH93722 says:

Shawn dady. This is a 2005 acura TL I have a video for recovering the
serial number for a mdx.

Shawn Dady says:

And actually I think this video may not be for an MDX. It’s for a TL. On
the MDX the part 39770-STX-A01 goes in the console or under the dash….not
sure. Acuratech, can you verify? Do you have another video for MDX’s?

AUCRATECH93722 says:

Just gonna lose the Bluetooth.

AUCRATECH93722 says:

yes this will stop that but also check to make sure the a/c clutch relay is
not stuck on cause these are well known for this also.

Qadirah Muhammad says:

Where do I purchase the replacement part, the part number and cost. I
really appreciate your help. The dealer told me it would cost $800 to
replace or Acura TL. Can you believe that?

Tiffany Evans says:

Part # 39770-SEP-A12ZA for an ’07-08 TL. The part is called telephone assy
so if you’re looking for a different year just google that and you’ll find
it. It runs about $190 with shipping.

nokknok says:

I used a very small straight slot screw driver to pry it loose. Worked fine.

R WM says:

What tool did you use to pry off the first piece.

Josh Miller says:

Where is part 2?

miamicane2008 says:

This is a very easy installation. Once you pop out the first piece as shown
in the video it is simply unscrewing the four screws shown in the video and
then connecting the 3 wires and screwing the screws back in and popping
back in the piece that you popped out. I ordered my part from Acura of
Peroria for $170 and I followed these steps. It took one watch of this
video and 10 minutes of my time.

Angela Cohill says:

What is the part #?

azsundvl04 says:

Thank you for the video – you saved me $100 bucks. Took 5 minutes.

themightyquillpen says:

can I just disconnect this (and lose bluetooth capabilities/HFL) or do I
have to replace the faulty one with another?

alma05ful says:

I have an 08 and the hfl wont come off cant use the radio if i disconect it
and leave it off would that help???? Plz help me

Abner Ortiz says:

190 brand new? MIne is 2007. So idk how much would be.

Abner Ortiz says:

what part is that? i need to know please help and what video did you
follow, please help. my acura voice did not work anymore. I pressed it and
nothing happen. also my bluetooth thing does not work. i guess I need to
change the HFL. how much was that 170 bucks?
