04-08 Acura TL HandsFreeLink Problems and Repair

[@mattmiller8720]

This worked! My wife's 2006 Acura TL battery no longer is depleted after 4 days. Thank you Eric!

[@robertmyers3684]

I’m so glad i bought a TL the same time as Eric, because now i’m fixing everything along with him as the videos come out 👍

[@tball24242424]

I was toiling for months trying to figure out why my battery drain was happening. Try a few different new batteries and finally broke down and took it to the shop. I tested the alternator at 65 amps prior to taking it in but the shop still said the alternator needed to be replaced. Low and behold, within the next week the battery died again. I went back to the shop and got my money back for the labor. They admitted it wasn't the alternator and was this handsfree link problem. thank you so much for posting this. I'm sleeping better with this problem solved.

[@jaxfl8945]

I will never buy an Acura again. Acura is well aware of the issue. I had same issues with battery draining. I finally found out due to researching on You tube. Unplugged it and no more battery dying.

[@23kar1972]

Thank you, Eric. I've had this problem for years. I even keep the car attached to a trickle charger when it's parked at home. In the 13 years I've owned this car, I used the HFL a total of 1 time. And, that was to test it's features, which I found useless to me. I'll disconnect the system to save myself a lot of hassle.

[@zangetsu209]

That was the first thing I took out after getting my TL. I noticed it was hot when the car is off. When I tried to disconnect it, I could tell the previous owner knew about the issue and tried to literally rip the part out possible out of anger cause when I took out that fist piece, plastic bits were falling off everywhere as though someone tried to yank it out without removing the screws. I bought an aftermarket system off Amazon for $50 that works via the auxiliary port so now I have both my Bluetooth calls (required where I live) and music. Works like a charm and I couldn't be happier!

[@95prettyface]

Can you share the item you purchased from Amazon?

[@ziqifang9776]

This video made me hop out of bed, get dressed, run out into the parking lot, at 2am in Indiana winter night rain, just to pull the HFL module off. Let’s hope this will save my battery!

[@Amplifiedism]

Dude thank you so much for this video. My 06’ TL kept needing a jump because I wasn’t driving it daily. Now that I disconnected the HFL hopefully it won’t happen anymore👍

[@whuxley88]

Thanks for this video. I've been having this problem for the last 6 months, leaving my car on a trickle charger. I just died again after sitting in the garage for 5 days. I had this issue diagnosed by the car shop, but they didn't know where the module was. and clearly they don't know how to use google either. I bought this car new in 2007 because I'm 6'5' and I fit comfortably in the car. Its smooth ride on the road as well. A new in car is my future in the next couple fo years, but this solves a nagging issue that is just pissing me off. Huge double thumbs up.

[@jameshayward8533]

Thank you for this video. I did have parasitic battery drain. Watched your video, disconnected that module; no more battery depletion over the weekend.. I have owned my 2005 TL since new. The Hands Free phone set up is well planned out by Acura but unusable from the day you buy it. The ambient noise in the car makes using it nearly impossible due in part to the the installed microphone not being noise cancelling. No body can understand you!! Nor you them. We bought a 2010 Honda CR-V for my wife....SAME ISSUE!!! Not until we traded the CR-V in for a 2020 Acura RDX does hand free phone calls work. The RDX is relatively quiet and the mic is noise cancelling. Thanks again!

[@whitneystone5725]

By the way what is wrong with the well never mind I think that's the audio

[@whitneystone5725]

Do you know how many people's batteries are draining from the hands-free link the hands-free link is definitely the problem in a lot of these vehicles because it was recalled we still can get money from them also I contacted at my lawyer contact where I bought this and the owner wanted everyone to know but I've spoken her recently.. also change my keys legally without the Acura dealership I want to help people with that also the hands-free link is literally the problem of draining the battery also there is another issue

[@whitneystone5725]

If you don't mind me asking why I mean when okay when was your car purchased?

When did you purchase your car I can tell you a lot I want to know because I also have an 05 Acura TL and

[@AJISFREAKENAWESOME]

I've got a 2007 TL Type-S. Amazing vehicle. It was always my dream car in the exact setup mine is, carbon bronze pearlescent, a spec body kit, all the goodies and only $5900. Having my own shop I was prepared to fix some issues, but good Lord, I've never dealt with a car with so many electrical issues. I love the car, but now I'm fighting the fact the windshield is leaking and the water travelled into the Micu module and destroyed it for the second time, the first time it was the wonderfully placed sunroof drain leaking into the Micu module wiring harness. Again I love this car, love the fact Acura still keeps so many parts for this car in inventory, but man, I wish the seats were made of better material and they would have put a bit more consideration into the cars electrical system.

[@ericthecarguy]

Check to see if the windshield says "Honda" on it. If it doesn't, it was likely replaced. I've seen more than one instance where an improperly installed windshield caused problems like that. Sorry you're having those difficulties. Thanks for the comment.

[@zolutional]

I’ve never once had this issue I have a 2008 Acura tl type s and I honestly never had any electrical issues. Only issue I’ve had so far was the constant tpsm won’t go away at all not sure if I need to get my wheels replaced or balanced or what

[@morotetsuke]

When they go bad, they stay warm/hot even when the car is off. You can feel the heat on the interior plastic or even the windshield area.

[@drdysl3xia795]

Good to know.

[@MySparkle888]

Sounds like a car fire waiting to happen!

[@cuervoblanco71]

Correct, I noticed melted snow in the area of the hands free link. At the end I simply disconnected power cable from that unit. The symptom is also a battery gets discharged every 48 hours.

[@PszemoI]

Do you know what goes bad inside the HFL module to cause heating/battery drain?

[@DouglasStevens]

I have a 2016 CR-V and my hands free system just stopped connecting to my phone. Everything in your demo looks the same. I going to try it. 😃

[@Ontheaveg]

Also a common problem on the Acura TSX too. The HSL is located in a different spot though. Passenger side kick panel on the right by your foot.

[@JPB2075597]

My 2012 disconnects my phone all on its own like every other week i dont get it lol

[@Creative_cloud17]

Do u have a video

[@rogerf3622]

Good video as usual. Great info thx. But in this case spending $500 on a part that exceeds the cost of most brand new cell phones seems a tad extravagant.

[@ericthecarguy]

I agree, but in many states it's mandatory to use HFL when operating the vehicle. A bluetooth earpiece would also solve the problem and you can just unplug the HFL to prevent battery drain. Thanks for the comment.

[@johnfraioli858]

I wouldnt ever replace that useless pos. It's always stays ON even when the car is off.. $500 replacements still will make your battery drain All over again.

[@isalmankhan1]

Thanks for sharing Eric, we are eagerly waiting for the Type R series😍

[@Tnevels]

Hey Eric, big fan of your vids. Hands free calls don’t really work well on the TL in my experience. To pair my phone with my stereo I got a BT45 HON aftermarket from amazon. I’ve got a type S with nav, so it installed in the trunk really easily. It’s a small unit. Works absolutely great and has a mic output for calls and siri, etc.

[@thebronzetoo]

Did you set the mic up for it? I've installed the BT45 but only just now disconnected the HFL, so now no hands free talking, but at least my batt will quit dying!

[@AcuraAddicted]

Yep, pretty common for Acuras of those years. My 2008 MDX as well as pretty much every other MDX 2007-2013 has the same problem. I just disconnected the HFL module years ago and forgot about it entirely.

[@martinernest503]

Thanks for your video it has helped me

[@starman2337]

Add a 2014 TSX. It took 9 years, but the problem eventually developed.

[@RobCarstuff9112]

Something fresh and new for a change on YT. Thanks Eric!

[@SimonWhite-g6q]

Thank you for making this video.

[@blockbertus]

Good to know this is the final cut. :D Kinda stupid of Honda to rivet this in instead of using screws. Cheaper in the production, yes but not when you have to replace it. It would also save some resources.

[@rollerdragon]

the title changed.. eric asked me the heck i was on about...

[@whitneystone5725]

no that's what the dealerships are telling everyone about the damn hands-free link they're lying it's the Bluetooth thing that's all it is and if you take the module out I promise you it is the damn it's not the hands-free link I promise you I mean it was recalled a long time ago the thing is it's not it's not the problem

How do i get a replacement

[@vincewilkes]

I've had a parasitic drain for a while and pinned it to something in the overhead module and voila, this was it. I figured that out before I found this video but it confirmed to me what this unit is. Ugh. $400 to replace no bueno. I hadn't used it but was thinking about it...

[@chrisdc3917]

So that means that even if you replace the module, the passcode is still in the memory, correct? Follow-up question, how do you reset the passcode?

[@theBoxtosser]

@@jimrugg9372 I'm sure by now you probably solved the issue, but when the audio is locked out, you need to input the 5 digit code on the head unit (this happens when the terminal is disconnected from the battery or after a battery goes completely dead) The code can be found on the left side of the glove box door when you open the glove box.

[@metoon3092]

Short and Sweet! I am surprised however, you would spend around $380 just to talk on the phone .

In some states it's mandatory to use HFL when talking on the phone in a vehicle.

[@seeya205]

[@egeg-nr4qs]

No kidding. Acura's price is absurd. I wouldn't buy a new one back when they were $150. BTW: The number 1 trick to staying safe while driving is to stay off the phone completely. Just saved everyone $400.

Had the same problem. Bought a used TL and checked it out. It was unplugged. Went to the junk yard and found one.. that was bad too!! Refuse to spend the 350 tho. I just decided to leave it unplugged. I wish it worked with music.

That is a valid repair. These systems don't work very well anyway in my opinion. Thanks for the comment.

Did it fix yr problem brotha? I'm having the same problems

[@rickpalechuk4411]

That's a good heads up for the battery drain issue, I had that happen with the ac clutch relay staying engaged after KO in my 09 ridgeline. I BT my music using a rechargeable receiver plugged into the aux. Modern phones allow two BT connections simultaneously, so when a call comes in it knows to pause the tunes. Cheers

My 18 Ridgeline has the touch screen with CarPlay. If it breaks I doubt the fix will be this easy or cheap.

Thank you I’m going to try this today or this week. The problem is mines keep on connecting and then disconnecting so I wonder if the wire is probably not fully connected or I might just need to replace the entire unit but no battery draining problems thank God.

[@Doomster9]

Eric, I've been reading people using a heat gun or baking the circuit board in the oven at low temps to refill the broken solder joints within the HFL. I think it would be a fantastic video if you decided to plug in the old unit, show the draw and failure, open up the failed unit and attempt to fix it (obviously losing the core charge), but it would be some good footage.

[@ericthecarguy]

That would be interesting but I've already sent the old unit back for the core.

[@postal29]

I have a 2007 TL Type-S with 46,000 miles. I've never had a car with so many problems. Just had a claim with Acura for the passenger side dashboard cracked around the air bag. They won't replace. Oil pump seal has been leaking slowly for years so I had it replaced ($1200) and at the same time power steering pump was bad ($800). Acura told me my hands free device broke cause I didn't use it ($700) if I decide to replace it. Not! All the paint came off the rear spoiler ($300) to have it repainted. The guts to my ignition broke off inside so I couldn't turn the key to start the car. This was covered under extended warranty. Actuator in front passenger door replaced. Both actuators in the mirrors broke ($324) to replace. The motor for the driver side window so I couldn't wind the window down. Acura wanted $551 to replace. Bought motor at RockAuto for $46 and body shop replaced for $80. Plastic piece over cupholder broke in half; Acura replaced ($200). I've been buying cars for over 50 years and this is by far the worst car I've ever owned. I will never again buy a Honda product. By the way, the hands free device was draining my battery.

[@dand900]

This may help if you're hitting the HFL voice control button and it's saying it's "locked enter a 4 digit code". If you have the Technology package, like I do in my 2008 RDX, just under the HFL buttons are a separate "set of voice control buttons for the navigation, climate control, and audio systems". So I'm assuming you can still operate all of those things, even after disabling your HFL, which is only for calling and answering your telephone anyway.

I have a 2005 Acura TL, about 8 years ago it had a battery that ran out of battery, replaced a total of 5 batteries too, I'm tired of it. later on I used the electric gauge and knowing it hit the index 6 pole (under the driver's left foot) I removed it and it never drained the battery again. (Provisional advice to use should remove lead pole number 6). the car has no trouble driving, but there is no door opening light in the seat and remove the door control. (I've been driving like that for about 8 years). Now I know that the Bluetooth has been unplugged, the car is back to the original state, just can't use the Bluetooth for the phone, I don't need it. because it was just removed today, so it is not good to know?

[@OsamahBhutta]

It's a pretty simple system, unless you have an electrical steering rack, but that's still not something to bug. There would be no point to bug that to lock up or something, that would require great amounts of effort, like hours of work and well over 1k as it would require a mechanical component, electrical, and wireless control tonactivate the bug which would in turn need service from like a sim card.....no ones gonna do all that lol.
