Just wanted to run this one by you guys....

When using the phone kit in the car, i'm getting reports that i sound like i'm in the back of the car ie to quite and also that i'm cutting out as if the mic sensitivity it set to high ie missing the first word i say and the end of the last one etc....

anybody know if these settings can be tweaked? could do with the mic turning up really. aslo where is the mic located?

Any ideas guys?

This isn't going to cure your problem but I have the same issue! It's the car kit and not the phone as I have tried many, many different phones.

Yeah...thought that...it's got something to do with the noise cancelling, if i'm sat still, not driving, sounds fine (i think) as soon as i'm mobile, ie road noise etc, it adjusts the sensitivity to cancel out the road noise, thus cutting the voice out a bit and making it to quite? thats my theory anyway!

my E90 never suffered, did have the progman updated though?

...iv got similar probs in my E93......from a caller point of view I sound as if im in a tunnel.....dealer has changed the micophone...(its in the steering column on the E93...urs is in the overhead light grill!)..but its no better....the callers sound fine to me but my microphone is not talking to the phone well enough for them to hear me!!!

..better when im at standstill ...true...but not much

i didnt know there was a software update....Ill ask..

Just a quick update on this one....

mic volume is still sporadic, but the car has gone in for some other warranty work, and a PROGMAN update to V 33. Will let you kow if it sorts this out as well.

Fingers crossed !!

Cheers for the update, I'll look forward to the outcome

With the BMW car kits it makes a MASSIVE difference if you turn toward the mike while speaking.

Fair point but you end up looking like stephen hawkings flying down the road at 60mph in a beemer talking randomly to the centre of your car

Also who's is this mike you speak of? how do i get one? are they like half a tom tom?

seriously though, cheers for the heads up

sorry, i must stop this now....i'll get me coat....

Anygreg, any more news? Has the update sorted out the issues with the car kit? At this rate I will be buying myself a parrot mini kit to replace the factory fit tosh.

Sorry....V33 is now on, and, it has ever so slightly improved the overall quality.
It is still very speed dependant, low profile tyres, rough tarmac, all adds to the degredation of the call quality. A few people have commented on the improvement on the quality....not sure how true that is.

Although i think i am adopting the slight head tilt and twist to the left approach, or the aptly named hawking's power call stance, in a hope that i can over come the mic sensitivity drop off

Think the Parrot would suffer the same if not worse....
