Just paired my iPhone with the Honda HFT in my 2007 Civic. Seems to work okay apart from an echo.

The echo is caused by the mic.

Welcome to the EIC forum. Glad to see you know how to use the search button. Most don't.

Blimey, that was quick!

Yes, I thought so - a little annoying as I don't get that with my crappy Nokia.

Greetings everyone!

I was curious if anyone else is having issues with keeping the iPhone paired with their Accord like me. I have a 2008 Honda Accord with the navigation/Bluetooth package. I can get the phone to pair with the automobile just fine but the trouble comes soon after. Once I get in the car and turn it on, the car picks my phone up and shows the little Bluetooth indicator on the dash. Now if I click on the button on my steering wheel I can say "Call <name>" and it connects to my phone and appears to make the call (I can visibly see this on the phone) BUT.. I don't hear a thing.

It seems as if it connects to the phone but the sound isn't audible. The only way I can see of fixing this is by turning my car off and retrying. I've tried turning the Bluetooth OFF and then back on to have the car refind it again but this doesn't always work. This is very random it seems to happen very erratically.

Has anyone else had these troubles?

Also, sometimes when it is paired properly and I am speaking to someone, the connection will just drop (not the call) and I'll have to quickly switch over from Bluetooth to iphone on the phone itself to continue the call.

Furthermore, when I make a call using the car and don't hear anything, I try to switch (using the phone itself) over to the iphone and then back to the Bluetooth to see if it'll pick up but it never does. I'm curious if I am the only one experiencing this issue. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I have the SAME issues with my 08 Accord and iphone. My Motorola worked great with the system. Is there a fix?

I have had no success in pairing my iphone with my accord 08. Any suggestions or advice on what I might be doing wrong? I as well have no problems with my motorola blackberry but no luck with the iphone.
