problem with handsfree on new Accord
INCOMING CALLS don't work - the answer function does not respond.
---- OK, my *car* is new 2013, but my phone is antique (about three years old, I think), an LG VX8360. I think - no model number on the phone itself! I have the original instruction book, I think. http://www.handsfreelink.com/hondana/index.php It is not listed as "compatible" on this site. http://www.handsfreelink.com/hondana...model= Accord Sedan&years=2013&vehicle_id=811&manufacturer=105&c arrier=&searchtype=manufacturer&archive=&start=0 (the phone model *is* listed as compatible for the 2011 CRZ!) When I bought the car, the sales rep helped me pair the phone, we tried an outgoing call, and that worked. I assumed I was home free. Of course it hasn't worked out that way. INCOMING CALLS don't work - the answer function does not respond. (I think it might work if I press Answer on the phone, haven't tried that yet) Any other suggestions? Maybe a secret setting on the phone? My old LG had some kind of auto-answer setting (whatever it did), but I can't even find that on the new one. Any place to feedback to Verizon, LG, or Honda about such issues? -- OK so I'm a primitive, this is the first time I've tried to make this work with a cell phone and a car! Thanks, J. ps - as to the car itself, I'm really liking it, a lot smoother than the previous model. |

I don't really want auto-answer, but maybe it will help? Also found this site to ask Honda: http://automobiles.honda.com/handsfreelink/support.aspx Will try ASAP, tomorrow. J. |

Unless you're doing this so a *passenger" can answer, give it up: you'll never really be answering a phone and driving at the same time -- you'll either be driving, or answering the phone and not really driving at all (just going through the motions of driving, attention all elsewhere). HTH. Cheers, -- tlvp -- Avant de repondre, jeter la poubelle, SVP. |

Cheers, -- tlvp There IS something about being on a phone which is just different than having a conversation with a passenger or listening to the radio. I figure that maybe it has something to do with a passenger knowing when you need to concentrate on driving and they shut up while a caller just keeps talking and your attention is divided. I sure try not to use the phone when I'm driving but it is hard to just ignore calls. |

Whether hands-free or not, there are several studies that show talking on the phone while driving is the same as driving while drunk |

To a large extent it depends on the traffic situation. Driving on busy street is quite different from driving in a calm freway traffic. Leaving decent distance after a car, instead of tailgating, is also a major factor. Many accidentt are caused by taigaters. |

Since I hit retirement age, I don't get very many phone calls on my mobile phone! While I was working I would pull over to the right side with blinkers on and either answer my phone or, my page. One evening, I was driving home from the roller skating, my pager went off just as I turned onto the On-Ramp. If that wasn't enough, a police patrol car pulled up behind me at the bottom of the on-ramp and wanted to know if I had a problem. Thanks officer, I now have two problems. <sigh> |

Cheers, -- tlvp At least with the hands-free it's legal. I agree with all the negatives, but sometimes you want to receive or make a quick call when you're running late, that sort of thing. J. |
