Honda uses Hands Free Link to manage Bluetooth functionality in its vehicles. There is a flaw with this functionality in the 2016 Pilot! When you make an outbound call from a handset of Bluetooth connected phone, it does not automatically transfer onto vehicle's speakers system. You don't hear any dial tone and call is lost until the other party answers. At that point, you have to press the "transfer" option on the vehicle display screen to transfer the call onto vehicle's speaker system. I have contacted Hands Free Link to report this issue. They tried to duplicate this issue and informed me that this issue does not exist in any other Honda models except for 2016 Pilot! However, they do not have a solution for it. And I can attest to this because I have had a Honda Accord and currently own a Honda Odyssey and this Bluetooth issue isn't there. I have also reported this issue to Honda USA customer service to no avail.
Does anyone has a solution to this problem?
