Bluetooth® is the name of a wireless technology standard which allows different types of electronic devices to interact via short-range radio waves. Because of the versatility of Bluetooth® wireless technology, enabled devices do not share all of the same profiles. The HandsFreeLink® system is compatible with Bluetooth®-enabled phones that have a hands-free profile. The standard allows a wide range of devices to communicate with each other, with minimal user effort.

HandsFreeLink® is standard on the 2004–2008 Acura TL, the 2005–2008 RL, the 2006–2008 TSX, the 2007-2008 MDX, and the 2008 RDX. It is included in the Touring Package for the 2005–2006 MDX and the Technology Package for the 2007 RDX.
