bluetooth interference....

miker2013 · 10-19-2013, 02:38 PM

is it possible?

was listening to Bluetooth on my iphone in my 2013 w/ idrive and I heard interference and crackling in a speaker... changed albums, still over Bluetooth, and the sound was still there

then I changed the input to hd, immediately went away and I could not replicate it even going back to bluetooth

any thoughts? was it interference or an issue with the media?

do I have to turn anything down on my iphone when using it with the car via Bluetooth?

Not much input but I can say I noticed this in a loaner before.. was streaming bluetooth, sounded fine, then suddenly the quality got worse and it started to crackle.. the next time I tried bluetooth, it was fine.

thx

yeah it was really weird... was driving down a busy street and heard a little crackle and I was like wtf?... changed inputs to hard drive, and immediately the crackle went away

have not been able to replicate since, there seem to be very little info on any such issue as I searched it, interference and/or impedance

regardless, seems to work fine so I am not worried but was wondering if others had heard anything similar
