I've just switched from a Corsa to an 11 plate c3 exec 1.6D

Love the car! but there is one problem and a serious one for me as i spend between 4-7 hours a day driving.

When synced with the car's bluetooth my Iphone 4s(current IOS) is largely inaudiable for the people on the other end of the line. I can hear them quite well but i'm being told 70% of the time that they can barely hear me or it keeps breaking up. If i then put them on handset they can hear me fine.

I re-synced my phone to the unit, i've tried it with an without the mp3 synced at the same time. No difference.

As it stands i've got no choice than to use my bluetooth earpiece or earphones and they're both uncomfortable and impractical.

Any ideas?

Hi doeboy, welcome to the forum!

Sounds like you have found the solution.

iphone is known for having bluetooth problems, but maybe you have a poor head unit.

You could try moving the phone nearer the bluetooth module in the stereo, on top, below, either side. You have probably tried this already, but I think its worth mentioning.
