What a novel idea!
I have learned to live with the crappy "premium" sound system in my 2014 EXL 6 banger w/o nav. And for the past 8 months or so, I've found a good work around for not having proper Accord text functionality with my MOTO-X. It's the Read-it-to-Me Pro android app. Properly configured, it reads my incoming texts over the stereo speakers when bluetooth connected, allows me to issue a vocal "cancel" command if I don't want to reply, or a vocal "reply" command which puts the app in speech-to-text mode (extremely accurately I might add) and then plays back my spoken reply, then allow me to issue a "send" vocal command to send the text. It's totally hands free and, IMO works better than a visual text on my display screen would work any way. So at least I can have this texting functionality with my MOTO X phone and be happy. I've not had any issues with the phone bluetooth aspect of my Accord and am happy with that as well.

Hello I has been a long time since anyone posted anything. I have a 2015 Honda accord hybrid exL and my infotainment system keeps locking up. They one way to get it back working is to turn off the car. I have called Honda and they said I'm the only one with this issue. have taken my car to the dealer and nothing is ever found. I do not know what else to do. Its very frustrating. I'm using it mostly bluetooth with iPhone 6 Plus. Most of the time freezes while streaming music.

are you using the USB cable into your iPhone or just BT? Do you have the issue with the USB cable?
i had an issue with the HandsFreeLink communicating with my Droid and had to delete the phone from the car's memory and re-connect. That resolved those issues.
I occasionally have an issue where calls are dropped and the HFL seems to struggle with maintaining a connection. I also see this issue with aftermarket radios.
I haven't taken a 2015 apart but this is the bluetooth module inside the 2014 non-touch screen.

I'm using both. I had issue with both. Sometimes I get the message saying that it's not compatible. But if I unplug and plug back in it goes away. But it's been better since I complete erased my device and setup as new. Repaired Bluetooth. But Honda fails to assist with it. Spoke with there corporate multiple times and they just don't give a crap. I even ask them about the Siri eyes free feature and they don't know about it. It's bad.

I started this blog in 2012 because of all the software problems with my new 2012 Acord and like you Honda America told me I was the only one reporting the problem. They later admitted to it and made several half assed attempts to fix it but never did then I did what they wanted, I gave up. I worked in Detroit for 3 years and then for 25 years designed electronic connectors for the auto .ind. so I think I have an idea why Honda released the 2012 Acord for production when it clearly wasn't ready. Their competition was releasing a newly designed Altama. Honda had to know they had software problems but made the decision to release it anyway and address the problems later.
I'm sorry to hear that 3 years later and your having the same issues with your new car. I had Honda's in the past but I don't think I would buy another.

To add insult to injury, I only know of two manufactures that make prem. speakers for 2 ohm systems.
Honda knowingly screwed us on the sound system, Nav system, heated seats and bluetooth lockup issue

I know, I feel the same way, it would be my last. I'm just getting tired.
