WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The most important step in troubleshooting HFL issues is to identify the model, software version, and wireless carrier of the phone in question. Not all phones with the Bluetooth feature and a hands-free profile are compatible with the Honda HFL system.

Go to handsfreelink.honda.com or call Honda's dedicated handsfreelink call center at 888-528-7876, and check if the customer phone is approved and correctly configured to work with the Honda HFL system.

NOTE:
  • The lists of approved, archived, and currently testing phones are constantly changing, so make sure you view them frequently.
  • Phones are added as they are approved.
  • Phones can be removed from the approved list if a software bug is discovered that makes the phone incompatible. These phones can be added back to the approved list if the phone manufacturer corrects the bug.
  • If the software bug is corrected, a new software version is created and may be listed in the Supported Features section of the phone.
  • The software versions that are approved are now being listed in the Software Version field.
  • If you cannot access the Honda website, call the HFL call center at 888-528-7876 for further assistance. The call center is open Monday thru Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CST; Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CST; and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CST.
