Okay, I got A2DP to work in my Acura TSX. I didn't do anything different from last week. All you have to do is pair your phone with the HandsFreeLink and it should connect with Bluetooth Audio. I'm still not sure why it didn't work last week, but whatever.

If you're having problems, I found this page from another forum that might be helpful: http://tsx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=719913

The problem is that you have to hold the phone and listen and then push HANDSFREE to get it engaged. Not ideal to say the least. Doesn't go through if there's a busy signal. Thanks.

I've had the exact same problem and it is extremely frustrating... Apple support was of no help. Did you happen to figure out a solution to keep the Handsfree Bluetooth option on the iPhone selected?

This is the best I've been able to do, and this seems to be a workable solution:

I entered the most common numbers that we dial into the car's memory, (about a dozen) and assigned names to them. I then initiate the call via the car itself, i.e. "Call House." It works flawlessly.

Still bizarre that it won't work when the call is initiated from the phone. This is a luxury automobile. Same exact phone works flawlessly with my Prius, and did the same with my Camry which I had previously.

I actually just talked to Apple yesterday and they said they've been getting a lot of calls about this issue and that they may try to address it in the next firmware release.

The Handsfree link will import the address book from my iphone, but when I turn the car off, it disappears. All of my contacts on the iPhone are synced through Microsoft Exchage server from my Outlook. Is there some way that you have to add them to the actual phone's phonebook first?
