Isuzu Dmax Yukon bluetooth

[tractorbob]

Just got a new Dmax Yukon and everyone I talk to on the bluetooth says it's terrible and can hardly hear me (maybe not a bad thing before anyone says !). I can hear the other person perfectly. I know when I ring other people with the same pickup the quality is very poor and I usually say I will ring them back when they are not driving . Am I doing anything wrong? Has anyone had same problems. I'm tempted to go back to dealer and tell them it's their problem and get it sorted or fit me a retro fit bluetooth system.

They are notoriously rubbish

It's less terrible when driving slowly with the fan off, you can adjust the mic. volume

 

[Timbo]

The mic is in the headunit, waaaay too far away from your mouth. Parrot all the way.

I've got the mic on max and it makes a bit of a difference but still crap.

Should I press the dealer to fit a parrot or similar because the factory bluetooth isn't fit for purpose?

Ah press away .......................

I have a 2013 model and have found the hands free good both in terms of me hearing them through the radio speakers, and also them hearing me.

Feedback at their end had become quite an issue though where they were hearing themselves talk. Like others have said changing the mic volume was revolutionary. I'm told now there is no feedback.

They always start with "it might be your phone" , read "not going to admit it's our problem"

Well I don't believe that @JP1 , Isuzu trying to talk their way out of a warranty claim, must have been a Skoda?

Did you get it from Woodsy?

We have an Eiger which they gave us an upgrade to a Yukon stereo,took it back now have a Pioneer stereo which bluetooths every thing from an I phone unlike the rubbish Yukon one!So much for an upgrade!

Thanks for that. I will give it another week as I won't have a chance to do anything until back from Cambridge but I think a parrot will be needed. Will speak to JW first.

I have had this issue since day one with my Utah. It has just been back in and they have moved the microphone up onto the a pillar. This seems to have improved it but it's still not great! I have the vision pack so it has the pioneer headunit.
