The Bluetooth button for the 8th generation Accord is located in the central control display. Here are the relevant details:1. How to turn on Bluetooth: Power on the vehicle, open the central control display, find the settings option, enter the Bluetooth audio option, and click to turn on Bluetooth.2. Technical basis: Car Bluetooth is an in-vehicle wireless hands-free system designed and developed based on wireless Bluetooth technology.3. Function: The main function of car Bluetooth is to use Bluetooth technology to connect to the phone for hands-free calls while driving normally, in order to free both hands and reduce the risk of traffic accidents. It automatically identifies mobile phones and can connect to the phone without the need for cables or phone holders.
I drove an eighth-generation Accord for several years, and the Bluetooth wasn't a standalone button but hidden in the audio system. Once you start the engine, press the button on the center console with a phone or call icon, and a menu screen pops up. Select device management to add a new Bluetooth device, then turn on Bluetooth on your phone and search to pair. The Bluetooth in this car is quite stable, but be careful not to operate it while driving—I recommend doing it when parked. If it doesn't connect, check if your phone's Bluetooth is in discoverable mode or restart both the engine and your phone. Try a few times, and it should work. You can also use the shortcut buttons on the steering wheel to answer calls, which is quite convenient.
I was also confused when I first learned to use the Bluetooth in this car. The 8th-gen Accord doesn't have a physical switch. After starting the car, look for a small button labeled 'AUX' or 'PHONE' near the steering wheel or center console. Press it to enter the setup screen, then select Bluetooth pairing to add a new device. Your phone will automatically pop up a pairing prompt—just click 'agree' to connect. Remember to do this while parked, not while driving. I once got stuck trying to pair while driving, but it worked after a restart. If it fails the first time, clear your phone's paired devices list and try again. The signal can be weak when the battery is low, so pairing is more reliable after charging.
