Default Phone call clarity

My wife mentioned that its quite hard to hear me when we're talking via blue & me, does anyone else find it hard to hear?

Its really clear in the car, this is more about the callers on the other end.

Is there any way of adjusting the microphone settings??

Does this happen all the time?

I get the same complaint when I'm in a poor mobile signal area, but it's fine when I have a good signal.

Only had complaints when calling the wife but my batty part deaf devil of a grandmother seemed to hear me ok.

Spoken to a few peopl using it, but they seem to hear me ok. Yet to ask the wife to go out in the car and call me so i can see.

She mentions she can hear a lot of background noise making it hard to hear me.

I found that reducing the speeker volume in the car reduces the echo, hence better for the recipient

Cool Moblie phone

Has anyone had difficulty in pairing their mobiles. My Samsung connected very easily, but my wifes brand new Motorola V8 will not. Any hints or tips?

No problems with that for me. Sony Ericcson connects quickly every time without me doing anything.

Me neither with Sony Ericsson. I think the problem might be the Motorola bit

on another Fiat forum there is a handy list of compatable phones that have been compiled with the functionality ticked. For example my Nokia 6630 will work but wont read txts.

Yeah reduce the volume coming from the speakers, as if you don't the person on the other end of the phone hears a distorted echo coming back through the microphone. This is what makes the sound quality poor.
