Hi,

I am wondering if there is something I am missing. My '06 HSE allows me to connect and make calls, but, after a minute or two the call gets choppy and conversations become unintelligible due to distortion. If I wait, it clears up, but then happens again during the conversation/call.

I have had this issue using a Blackberry Passport SE, Motorola Moto X Pure, and my Google Pixel 2 XL; therefore, I can rule out it being the phone, since I have tested 3 now.

Has anyone experienced this or have thoughts on what the issue is?

Thanks

 

Its the ancient Bluetooth chipset. The tech back then just wasn’t what it is now.

 

Is the 08/09 BT module a drop-in replacement? That may be an option to try.

 

I don't have the exact same issue but I've more or less concluded that my Bluetooth is basically unusable for me.

 

I thought I read that some have upgraded to the LR4 module with much improved results.

 

That's what I was referencing above... My '09 has a module from LR4 and the BT phone is of the best quality I've encountered in a vehicle. I'm just not sure if you can simply drop one in your year.

 

It has been a while, but I think the issue has been resolved!

I accidentally left my lights on and killed the battery a couple of weeks ago. I mean, the battery was completely dead! No lights, and no nothing to indicate there was any juice in that battery.

I jumped the battery and it appears that everything in the LR3 reset itself to default. I made necessary changes (e.g., miles to km, Fahrenheit to Celsius, etc.) to suit my requirements.

Since the original post, I have not used Bluetooth; however, yesterday i needed to use Bluetooth. The call was going well and after about 10 minutes in to my conversation, I realized that there was no distortion, and no issues what so ever.

My mind was blown!

I tested by making other calls, and not once did i experience my original issue!

So, it appears that the solution was a complete reset for the Bluetooth system.

Results may vary, but this happy accident worked for me!

 

A new battery install and zero issues with Bluetooth.

 

I have a 2013 LR4 and have the exact same issue and occurs on different devices, so I know it isn't the cell phone causing the issue (plus those same phones worked on other BT headsets and cars without issue). Has anyone determined a solution? I saw that one person's battery died and the system reset may have solved the problem. Thanks, looking for a fix
