bluetooth call quality??

[drcap]

When my wife calls me from my 07 4.8i e70, with iphone 3gs, she sounds like she is talking with the windows open but everything is closed up??? . Has anyone encountered this type of this wind tunnel like background noise or heard complaints from your callers about background noise when you are talking to them over the factory bluetooth. Just was hoping there might be a fix for this. Because when I am driving the interior of the car is never that loud. Thanks all. Oh ya just today i noticed that the sound does quiet down when the car stops moving (she was at a stop light and there was much less background noise but still some). This is realy weird .

my bluetooth quality is great when the windows are up. When they're down though, the caller does complain of significant wind noise. Not sure how to explain your problem but have your mic checked. Also try a different phone to rule that out.

Thanks for the info, like I said the windows and sunroof are always closed and it almost sounds like the mic is on the dashboard or something is blowing around it. .

No complaints here.

I've heard something similar - when I am driving it sounds windy (with all windows and sunroof closed), when i come to a stop it clears up.

I haven't yet played around with the vents or AC to see if that is affecting it.

I'm on an iPhone4.

Which iOS is on your 3GS? Apple has acknowledged issues with Bluetooth sound quality in iOS 4. 4.1 is supposed to fix this soon.

I am on ios 4 but it works fine with my gs350 and in my a4 which we makes calls from using the factoy blutooth. It's just when she is talking to me from the x5.

It could be a os 4.1 issue. I know that each manufacture(auto) implements the bluetooth stack the way they see fit. They do have a guild line to follow but there is always room for interpretation. So it would not be out of the question for the bluetooth to work fine with one car and not the other. I would ask your SA to check for an SIB out on this. Or you could just call him/her from your car and see what they think of the quality and if they feel there is an issue.

is the sunshade open? i have an '07 4.8 and notice a material difference when the shade is open v. closed (even with the roof closed).

The Apple iOS 4.1 update should release tomorrow. Give that a try, lots of complaints about bluetooth. As another poster pointed out, bluetooth behaves differently with each device/pairing.
