I have had my Acura since Sept and immediately paired my motorola phone to my handsfreelink (easy)It has worked well until recently. I switched to Cingular, got a motorola razor and paired it the same way. It has worked well for 3 weeks and all of a sudden has stopped working.

When I get in the car and start her up the phone icon does not show in the status bar above the Nav system. The cell phone indicates that it is connected and only gives me the option to drop. In fact when I voice dial a call it seems to be working but the car drops the call shortly after connecting while the cell phone remains connected. I have deleted the pair, paired again but no change. The cell phone has no trouble with connecting to other bluetooth devices including a headset (no, this is not active in the car).

I have also noticed that the car continues to indicate that it is connected to the cell phone even after I drop the connection. On a last, and possibly unrelated note, the outside temperature indicator shows no reading. Both of these problems showed at the same time.

Any ideas before I head to the dealership?
