I've had my tilt since June and bluetooth was working great on my BMW and my Lexus. Then about two weeks ago every time I used my tilt on either my BMW or Lexus the bluetooth connection was extremely garbled. My other phones with bluetooth worked flawlessly in either car. My tilt which was upgraded to WM6.1 was the obvious culprit. I tried a soft reset, hard reset, going back to WM6.0, and then back to WM6.1 but always within a day or two my bluetooth connection between the tilt and either car became garbled. I even tried another tilt but same symptoms. So that brought me back to software, radio code, or configuration. Considering that I used both the WM6.0 Rom and the WM6.1 Rom and both didn't work the only answer was configuration. Last night after getting a replacement Tilt I resynced with both the BMW and the Lexus with no problems. This morning on my way to work again the bluetooth connection became garbled. Now I'm extremely frustrated, then I noticed a red light came on in my BMW which is what happens when the bluetooth connection fails. For some reason I turned off my wifi and immediately the red light went out. I tried a call and every thing was working great (nice and clear). I made several calls and bluetooth again was working flawlessly. Then I remebered that one of my settings was to change the wifi card to maximum performance instead of maximum battery since this makes a huge difference in wifi performance. I'm going to perform some more tests this afternoon but I think the extra wifi power is severly affecting bluetooth.

yea same happens with me when I have WiFi and bluetooth on. also my friend who has tilt has same problem. I think this is common problem with tilt. so far I tried few different radios and roms but noting helped. I could not find fix for that anywhere.

You need to try different radios. I found radio 171091 worked well with a lot of the 6.1 ROMS. I am now using 1652436 with Athine's ROM and both of these allowed me to Bluetooth Stereo, Bluetooth Phone and WiFi. The biggest problem I have ever had with these Radio's is when I drive around and pick-up different WiFi spots, the Bluetooth audio will cut out for up to 1 second.

Great, I never installed radio code before. Is it similar to changing the Rom?:confused:

I'm using AthineOS v3.2 rom with a Tilt Radio Version 1.71.09.01 Same thing.. everytime you use Bluetooth and Wifi it craps out if there is a lot of data transfer between either of the technology.

Worse off, it takes down my Wifi at home for 30sec-1min. All my devices that is on Wifi loses signal
