Car's Bluteooth for phone sounds Horrible???

winebuff · 07-05-2009, 03:24 PM

Hi guys

My 2010 Prius ROCKS but I still cant get the bluetooth to sound decent. Tried the thing where you push the menu with your finger back and forth and turn it up but still sucks.

Should I take it in but.... I know more than them so what good will it do. Anyone get it where it actually sounds ok? My manager bought a hands free he puts on his visor off of ebay for $30 and sounds a heck of alot better. Hate to give up this feature on the car but it is VERY frustration. Thanks!

What phone are you using. No issues at all here with my iPhone 3GS. Even the bluetooth music streaming sounds fine.

I have a blackberry curve. I think it is a 8330 or 8300. Hmmm, do u think it is the phone then? People cant hear and say it is like I am in a tunnel

Very well could be the phone, I suppose. My iPhone 3G works very well -- except for one thing. The sound is great, and no one has trouble hearing me. The problem is that when I answer a call, my first response isn't heard. I always need to say a second "Hello!" before there is a response.

I have Palm 755p and people say it sounds good.

I have to do the same thing, say hello twice, but it still sounds awful

Same here, but the rest with my 3GS is good.

Try it out with another phone if you have one or know someone else that does.
That way you can find out if it is indeed something wrong with your particular stereo.
