Unfortunately we are stranded in a wireless technology snapshot from ten-plus years ago. Bluetooth has evolved, and FWIW I've been watching original capabilities disappear with major iPhone software updates. Phone does things a better way with each "capability improvement", car doesn't keep up. Mine still takes and makes calls, but the on-board voice calling feature is gone. Siri works better. No directory download to the car. anymore. Phone directions mysteriously started popping in through the handsfreelink audio a year or so ago. If full current BT functionality is critical, you may not have the right car.
My Pilot EXL allows me to stream audio via bluetooth, but will not allow me to hear the other party on a phone call with handsfreelink. I have to fumble to put my phone on speaker in order to hear them. People on the other end of the call can hear me speak. Have spoken to multiple car audio dealers and Honda service about the issue, but there seems to be no solution. Too bad, but I will take the body style over the phone functionality.
