My S23 has worked with my Acura TL's hands free link since I received the phone over one year go. About two weeks ago the phone stopped working with my Acura. I have attempted many times to re-pair the device and it is no longer recognized or found with hands free link. Hands free link seems to be working as usual and my phone will pair with any other bluetooth device in my home, including my other vehicle. Has something changed recently via a software update that would cause this problem?
Which gen is your TL? I have the 3G known for the Bluetooth issues primarily because it was one of the first to have it but nothing but problems to the point that the majority of owners disabled or replaced it with an aftermarket since Acura never issued a recall. Anyways, what you might do is reset your Bluetooth settings on the phone which sucks because you'll have to pair devices again but it usually clears out any connection issues I have with mine. Settings - General Management - Reset - reset WiFi and Bluetooth. I guess I should have confirmed that you have gone to the Bluetooth section within the Connections menu and clicked on the cog wheel looking emblem for the TL and then Unpair? I'd try that first along with making sure that it's Unpaired or "forget connection" within the TL Bluetooth. If you've tried them then unfortunately I think you'll have to do the Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth option. Afterwards I would hold the volume down and power button at the same time until your phone restarts; that can clear out cache issues such as Bluetooth probs. Good luck
