Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has come across any tweaks/suggestions for issues with audio on bluetooth car kits. I have a Pioneer DEH-P7050BT (aka P700BT in EU) and had lots of issues with the audio quality on the PHONE section of the stereo.

When making a call, the audio I hear is fine, however people on the other end of the phone hear constant interruptions of noise and other nasties. I have not been able to replicate the issue using either a Nokia E65 or some kind of Samsung phone. This means the issue lies with the Hermes...

Has anyone come across or solved these issues in the past?

I get the same issues with my sony car kit. Sometimes it's terrible echo, sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's metalic - electronic voice people hear on the other end.
If the hermes wasn't such a useful tool for other reasons, I would have thrown this phone against a wall some time ago. I don't know if it is the bluetooth or the phone. It would be great to finally get a fix.

cheers,

I ended up finding a fix for this.... I've taken the Pioneer DEH-P7050BT back to the store and get a full refund. This refund got spent on a MUCH cheaper and better Kenwood KDC-BT7539U (http://au.kenwood.com/Car_Entertainment/1DIN_Receivers/KDC-BT7539U).

This unit works perfectly with the HTC TyTN, and no issues at all......

If you're in the lookout for a car stereo + bluetooth handsfree, then the KDC-BT7539U is where it's at.
