I have a 2006 Acura TL - will this device take over the current handsfreelink phonecall functionality? I want to make sure this is not affected.

It will not affect that functionality if you are connected to that system. However, after installing this, you will have two Bluetooth systems in the car. You will have to go into your phone's Bluetooth menu and tell it which connection to use each time you want to switch. Your phone will use the device that is currently connected so, if you're using this device to stream music and a call comes in, it will want to answer through this device too. It's not that it's 'taking over' your handsfreelink. It's that you've specifically told your phone to connect to this device and not the other. You might want to consider purchasing a Bluetooth music interface and not one that does hands-free calling also. Those usually connect via a different profile, so your phone can distinguish between music and phone calls and you don't have to switch manually. Of course, you might not be able to find one that is specific to Acura vehicles. You might have to settle for one that plugs in your antenna jack.

When I purchased mine, I didn't inquire about types of phones because it did not seem to be an issue. It will just sync with your phone automatically. Very easy to use, awesome sound quality (on both sides) and the battery lasts forever because it shuts off when you are not in the car. It wakes up as you get in your car (motion activated). Love it! Hope this helps!

Yes it will announce who is calling and ask whether you want to answer the call or not. It will not interrupt or turn down the radio. You will hear the phone ring through the Motorola Roadster which will give you plenty of time to turn down the radio and then just say "answer" and you will be hands free.

Ok so. 9500 does have voice control I use it every day with my iPhone 5. It does every thing Charlie listed. The hands free text message feature is very useful (listen through speakers and reply with included microphone). Especially since I have a manual transmission.

No it does not do that. You only can use this device's bluetooth for making calls handsfree.

Device projects the ringing signal then voice asks "in coming call from Bob Jones would you like to answer or refuse call?" If I say yes then I am connected to the caller and may start talking. I do have an iPhone and enabled voice commands so I can't tell you if it is the Roadster or my iPhone speaking?

My car has a display that shows incoming call, so I push that. I believe there is a button on the device that you push. It has worked well

Yes I would say so. The way I hooked it up to my 2007 Acura TL type S is by connecting it directly between the wipers and the wiper motor. This way I didn't mess with the electronics in the steering column. It bypasses the wiper controls. So, the way I use it is to not touch the wiper control on the steering wheel at all. I leave the wiper control in the off position and just flip the switch in the Rain Tracker. When I am not using it I keep it off. Then I get back full control using the wiper control on the steering column.

It works great with Siri!! It's one of my favorite features of the phone. When I'm driving I just push the top button and it activates Siri. I say "Call Joe Smith" and it calls Joe Smith. If I get a text, push the button say "Read Text Message" and they're read, giving you the option to speak your reply. I can also push the button and say "Where's the closest Dunkin Donuts (not that eat them LOL) and Siri will find it and ask me if I would like to call it or get directions. It really helps keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.

With default settings on my phone putting it into the car dock does not open car mode. However I have not messed with any phone settings as far as car mode goes.

I not text. However, the technology in this phone is not compatible with the Bluetooth in my 2014 Corolla even though Toyota said it was compatible. It worked for a short while, now, not at all. Toyota checked it out and said that the phone was the problem as opposed to the Bluetooth. T-Mobile, my carrier, said the technology was too old....Richard

I have a Nexus 5 and a Nissan Rogue with Bluetooth for phone calls only. I purchased this device and can confirm that this device will connect to your phone along with your car Bluetooth for phone calls. It worked flawlessly and also auto connects when i turn my car on. You might want to make sure your phones bluetooth is compatible because im not sure if all phone can connect to multiple devices at one time. Mine does and i love this thing. During phone calls it paused the music and after the phone call was over it started the music from where it left off.

Yes until you change it but don't understand why. After u sync your phone. Every time you get in and start car your phone automatically connects and when you get phone call it interrupts any other source. If you put phone on Bluetooth audio it automatically play whatever music is on your phone so maybe that helps

For a hands free device it's a great buy. I bought two one for my husband and one for my son. My son uses it all the time comes thru clear and haven't had a problem with cutting out or dropped calls. My husband used it until we got a new car with built in system. I would recommend it to anyone.

for us is not. once I try to initiate a call from my car it says the phone is not connected. i first need to press 'yes' to the question that my phone asks whether to connect with my car. if i want to use it in my car i need to open my phone first to connect it with the car every time.

Yes. If your radio is running and you get a call, it stops the radio and the call conversation comes out of the car speakers.

I don't particularly like the FM radio feature as you have to manually change the radio channel to answer a call. Doesn't work like the factory Bluetooth built into the car, it will not shut off music and switch to phone. With that said, it does work with any FM radio and it works well as long as there are no radio stations on the frequencies you use with the Roadster. Should not be a problem with either phone you listed, pairing is super easy.
