steve1951 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 i sound gurgly/distorted to people i call via iPhone 3G bluetooth connected to lexus hs250. i've recorded several variations by calling my voicemail and leaving test messages: my 3G from my car - i sound distorted my 3G from another car with bluetooth - sounds fine another 3G from my car - i sound distorted a 3GS from my car - sounds fine other phones (not iphones) bluetoothed to my car - sounds fine I've tried following phone reset, wi-fi off, network settings reset - all with same result. I've tried removing the pairing at both ends (car and phone), re-establishing - same result. I've tried from several different locations (maybe with varying cell reception) - same result. I've not (yet) tried my 3G from another car like mine, but will arrange this with dealer. Sound from other party (what I hear at my end) sounds fine. Audio from my phone (via iPod app) bluetooth to car sounds fine. the distorted sound is very consistent (i have a dozen different recordings on my vmail); best i can describe is gurgly; it's intelligible but annoying. called apple support. empathetic but no help - only conclusion is "iphone 3G bluetooth hardware may be incompatible with my car's hardware" based on my experience that another 3G sounded the same and another 3GS sounded fine.

There is a service bulletin that may address your problem. I'll try to attach it. L_SB_0185_09.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
