Great advice thank you. The wife has got the car today so can't wait to test this stuff out when I get home. Will post later

 

The pairing won't unfortunately work as the controls arn't registering at all so I can't say any commands into the phone system. The voice system I can but this is a seperate system.

I tried the things that work with the Accura but it appears for the UK accord they're not the same or the problem is deeper than this.

Appreciate the advice though thank you

 

It's been a while since I posted so to give an update. At the moment the hands free is still out of operation (got a visor hands free to allow some form of hands free). The local honda dealership swapped a working MCIU and confirmed this rectified the problem. In addition the alarm siren (nothing else/lights etc) has been going off at random intervals - irritatingly when it goes off it is impossible to stop - even taking the battery out makes no difference as it is battery backed up! Anyway they initially determined it to be the siren unit causing the issue. Siren replaced (£600+) it still does it. They now believe it is down to the same faulty MCIU unit! So looking at another £500, my patience is starting to wear thin

Is it possible the MCIU could be partially faulty - my experience of processor chips says they either work or they don't? Also anyone know if they can just be rewriten rather than replaced - though I don't want it tuned due to the insurance ramifications

 

Mine is having the same problem....just found out this morning...was fine yesterday....when i press the phone button i hear no bleep...the radio still mutes and the phone is still paired....i tried calling a number and the phone does dial but without sound....seem like the HFT sound has gone!
It normaly asks "what name or number would you like to call"...the screen also displays that the phone is on! any help pls??

 

That's a bit different from mine - on mine the button now no longer does anything. I'd suggest on yours test another profile - of if not recreate the profile for the phone on the car and see if it sorts it.

Regarding mine I believe the bluetooth module has gone - would mean a £1000+ spend which isn't happening so no hands free any more

 

Hi guys i got same problem honda accord 2006 uk model. The hft not working dose not making any beep sounds. Has any one found if its the fuse?

 

I figured it out. I might be late, but better late than never. I have a 2011 Honda Accord and my hands free link was just giving me the same issue. All I did was pull the panel around the bottom of the steering wheel, it's all clips, but be careful not to break any. Once the panel is removed, to the left in a little hole there's a black box with a connector leading into it. That's your Bluetooth module. Make sure the car is off, and proceed to disconnect that module, it's a simple push tab and pull, really easy. You may blow into the connector, and then reconnect and reassemble the panel and it should work from there. It worked for me.

 

The battery went off, needed a new one. Added a new one. Then my friend bought the exact same phone as mine (iphone 7) once he turned his phone off, the bluetooth Honda HFT started working. Heard a bip. Thought strange it did’nt work for months now. Pressed the return button to see if it pairs, Lord be hold, she was talking again. Tried to pair it with my phone. It paired and functioning again. Days later the bluetooth went off again. Then when i met my friend again (whose phone bluetooth was ON) then honda HFT started showing on the center screen.
Moral of the story to make the honda HFT pair again, bring a similar phone around, just place it in discoverable mode, that somehow relaunches the bluetooth module and gets to work again.
It’s has been working fine now for weeks.
>honda accord 2012 d-tec (EURO).

 

Turn ignition to position II. Hold the two phone buttons down for at least 10 seconds and the HFT will beep and announce status - happily mine was “HFT is working” and o was able to re-pair phone - good luck!





QUOTE=tals;223553]The car's HFT system stopped working today. i.e when you press the phone button or cancel you would normally get a Bleep and it would take you into or out of the phone menu. Neither of which is happening.

The phone is no longer connecting to the HFT system.

I am crossing fingers this is just a fuse issue but looking in the manual I can't see a reference to HFT in the fuse box. Does anyone know if it does have a fuse and if so what number it is located on?

Has anyone had experience of HFT issues on the accord - things to try?

Many thanks[/QUOTE]
