When making a phone call using Bluetooth do people complain they can't hear you? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

He11bent · 02-22-2013, 12:54 AM

I love using my Camaro Bluetooth for making phone calls. I have worked on aircraft for a very long time and don't hear as well as I used to. Listening to callers over the audio speakers is awesome. Unfortunately, the people I am speaking to dont feel the same way. They cant hear me, or I sound far away, etc. (of course this is with the top up).

I use an iPhone and before that a blackberry with the same results so I am thinking the microphone either sucks or it is just not working right. Any one else having this issue?

I haven't had this issue, even with the top down. It could be that your mic is bad and needs to be replaced.

i have the same problem

Brian 1LE SS · 02-22-2013, 02:57 AM

In my truck I dont even use it anymore its so bad.

TJ91 · 02-22-2013, 03:13 AM

Ive never had that problem. Only with my GF but she doesnt hear jack shit lol

Maybe something is wrong with the mic?

TJ91 · 02-22-2013, 03:14 AM

Try having someone call you from inside the car and see what you think of the volume

Denis · 02-22-2013, 05:01 AM

The only issue I have is that there's a slight delay. Maybe a second or two. Just enough to be annoying.

Sterling · 02-22-2013, 05:04 AM

I've never had a complaint...

Sword5 · 02-22-2013, 06:20 AM

The only time anyone said anything was with the window down, then just minor. Just like Denis said, you usually have to say hello twice with the delay.

I haven't had the issue and I use it daily in my cruze Eco an almost every time I take out the Camaro

Angrybird 12 · 02-22-2013, 06:51 AM

Use it all the time and never had a complaint.

pk79 · 02-22-2013, 06:57 AM

Had top down yesterday and there were no issues at all! I am impressed with how good it sounds so far. Perhaps like others say there is a mic problem....just make sure you are talking loud and clear...tons of ppl mumble(mother in law being one) and that makes it tough to hear on these things.

Only when driving on the highway at 85 miles!

It seems to get worse as time goes on. When I first got the car it was great. Now people only hear every three words. Initially I thought it was AT&T to blame but now you guys have me wondering if its the car.
