Phone Honda HFT

tomo2001 · 10th July 2008, 17:29

Does anybody have any good feedback regarding this feature?

Secondly, do Honda supply an accessory which will hold and charge your handset?

Thanks

Just had one fitted mate and very pleased with it. It can pair up to three phones in its memory, has voice recognition calling, last number redial and an auto answer function. It also has a few other features aswell. Hope this has helped.

I meant the one fitted to the EX as standard, sorry!!

It works well, once you have had the mic mod done (have a look in the wiki). And no, you need to buy a third party mount (I never bother, my phone just stays in my case and it all works fine).

I like the fact that i never have to touch my phone. It just stays in the dark depths of my handbag.
When i turn on the ignition it pairs immediately makes a small beep and then i can make and receive calls to my hearts content

I have found that the best phone mount is the magnetic type.

I have stuck mine onto a Brodit mount.

Make, price, ease of fitting?

have seen on various threads that a lot of you keep your phone in your pocket etc, but how do you know who is calling you? I just picked up my EX on friday so sorry if im missing something obvious!

Thanks

I like mine....it does what it says it's supposed to do ......

Only 2 quibbles with it really....

1. Even though I have a lovely big screen there (Sat Nav), it doesn't display the callers number or name, so as I keep my phone firmly in my pocket whilst I'm driving, I've no idea who's calling - thus making avoiding the wife REALLY difficult!

2. When I use the voice recognition to make a call, with the window open, the system seems to think I'm German and starts talking bavarian at me.....

The lack of in-coming caller name/number and no voice dialling via the handset is a pain. I got around the former by getting a Sony Ericsson watch which pairs to the SE phone. It displays the callers name (if in phonebook or number if not) on the watch face.
