It can take some time when you’re getting used to a newly-purchased vehicle. You can set up the Bluetooth connection on your 2017 Honda Accord by accessing the phone setup menu.

Here’s what to do:

Park your car and make sure your phone’s Bluetooth is on and in discovery mode.
Press the Phone button on your radio panel.
Tap on Yes, and then tap on Continue.
Select your phone from the list that pops up on your touchscreen display.
Check that the number on your touchscreen matches your phone’s number.
If prompted to enter a passcode, you’ll see it appear on the touch screen. Simply enter the code into your phone.
When the phone is successfully paired, your Honda will give you a confirmation notification.

Now your phone should be ready to go with hands-free calling and music streaming in your car!
