How to delete when Honda CR-V Bluetooth is full with 6 devices?

Find the Bluetooth option, select Bluetooth settings, and you can see the devices connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth system. Long press the device name, and a delete option will appear. The car's Bluetooth system can only connect to one mobile device at a time. If there are too many connected devices, you need to delete the original devices before reconnecting new ones.
I've been driving a Honda CR-V for five years, and having the Bluetooth device list full can indeed be troublesome. First, start the vehicle, then locate the home menu on the center display screen and click the settings icon to access Bluetooth options. Scroll down to view the list of paired devices, press and hold the name of the device you want to delete for about three seconds, and a delete button will pop up—click confirm to proceed. The system can only store six devices due to hardware limitations, similar to how you'd need to delete contacts when your phone's address book is full. Once, when I tried to connect my wife's new phone, the system froze while deleting a device. Turning off the engine, locking the car, and waiting ten minutes before restarting fixed the issue. Remember to search for new devices again after deletion to pair successfully, otherwise the system might retain memory of the old device. Bluetooth connection stability can also degrade with too many devices, so regular cleanup is quite important.
When it comes to handling the maximum number of Bluetooth devices, the core solution is to delete records in the system settings. The operation process is simple: After starting the vehicle, do not shift gears, ensure the central control screen is on. Tap the settings menu in the lower left corner of the touch screen, select the Bluetooth device management page, swipe to find the device name you want to delete, and tap the small trash bin icon on the right to confirm deletion. The key point is that deleting a device only removes the system pairing, while the original phone's Bluetooth record remains. It is recommended to also remove the car from the phone's Bluetooth list to prevent automatic reconnection. Many people encounter deletion failures due to device synchronization issues; you can try disconnecting the phone's hotspot before operating. This is like cleaning the cache on a computer; the vehicle's electronic system also requires regular maintenance.
The Honda infotainment system can store up to 6 Bluetooth devices, and deleting devices is actually more convenient than on a phone. I usually operate directly through the center touchscreen: start the vehicle and wait for the system to load, press the HOME button to enter the main interface, tap the car icon to access settings, and select the Bluetooth/Phone option. The list displays all paired device names. After selecting the target device, a delete option will appear at the bottom of the screen. Note that it's best to turn off the phone's Bluetooth when deleting a device, otherwise the deletion may fail. Once when helping a friend with this, I found that all five of his old devices were from phones two years ago. After deleting them all and reconnecting the new phone, everything worked fine. I recommend keeping only three commonly used devices—that's enough. For others, you can pair them temporarily if they don't connect.
