How to Delete Bluetooth Devices When Honda XRV's Bluetooth Memory is Full (6 Devices)?

Press the MENU button below the display, rotate the LIST button downward to enter settings (do not click confirm). Press the dial button below the steering wheel, then press the list button to select "No" as confirmation. Enter phone settings, then enter Bluetooth settings, and press the list button again. Scroll down the page to find "Delete Device," locate the Bluetooth device you want to delete, and click the list button. Press the list button again to delete that Bluetooth pairing information.
As a Honda XRV owner, I've also encountered the issue of the Bluetooth device list being full. Even though the car is new, it won't allow adding new friends after connecting six phones. The solution is quite simple: after starting the engine, use the central control screen to navigate to the settings menu, then enter Bluetooth device management, where all saved devices will be listed. At this point, select the old device you want to remove and click the delete or similar confirmation button. Just remember to double-check before deleting to avoid removing frequently used ones by mistake.
Also, why is it limited to only six devices? It's because the car's system has limited memory, and exceeding this can affect response speed and stability. I recommend regular clean-ups, like checking every two months, to prevent sudden disconnections when making calls or listening to music while driving. Developing this habit can make driving more reassuring, especially during night or long-distance trips, where stable Bluetooth connections are crucial for safety.
I've driven several Honda models, and I've deleted Bluetooth pairings on the XRV quite a few times. The process is straightforward: First, don't rush to start the car—sit in the driver's seat, press the brake pedal, and hit the start button to power up the system. Then, look at the center display, select 'Settings' from the home screen, and navigate to the Bluetooth options. In the device list, each saved phone or audio device has a delete button—just tap it and confirm removal. Honda designed this to prevent system overload and improve performance. Think about it: too many Bluetooth connections on your phone can cause lag, and stuttering when switching songs while driving is a terrible experience. So, before I switch cars or add new devices, I always clear out unused pairings. Maintaining this habit long-term ensures compatibility with new features after device updates, like more responsive voice control.
