Hands free link module has failed. It now causes battery drain, causing the battery to fail after 1 week of not driving. Now on my 3rd battery in two months. This is a known problem across the acura models with hands free link, referenced in the acura forums. Additionally, not having a hands free system for cellular use poses a major public safety risk.
