Playing Bluetooth® Audio

Your audio system allows you to listen to music from your Bluetooth-compatible

This function is available when the phone is paired and connected to the vehicle’s 
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® (HFL) system.

Playing Bluetooth® Audio

Not all Bluetooth-enabled phones with streaming 
audio capabilities are compatible with the system. For 
a list of compatible phones:

•

U.S.: Visit automobiles.honda.com/handsfreelink 
or call 1-888-528-7876.

•

Canada: For more information on smartphone 
compatibility, call 1-888-528-7876.

It may be illegal to perform some data device 
functions while driving.

Only one phone can be used with HFL at a time.
When there are more than two paired phones in the 
vehicle, the first paired phone the system finds is 
automatically connected. 

The connected phone for Bluetooth® Audio can be 
different.

If more than one phone is paired to the HFL system, 
there may be a delay before the system begins to 
play.

In some cases, the name of the artist, album, or track 
may not appear correctly.

Some functions may not be available on some 
devices.

If a phone is currently connected via Apple CarPlay or 
Android Auto, Bluetooth® Audio from that phone 
will be unavailable. However, you can have a second 
previously paired phone stream Bluetooth® Audio by 
selecting 

 from the Bluetooth® device list.
