Why does the bluetooth suck on my 2012 GT? Is it because its low quality, or is there a problem with it? Everyone who i speak to on it says that it sounds like im far away and hard to hear me.

 

Either you need to speak better into the microphone, turn up the volume on the phone or radio, or you have to take it in to get it replaced. I have heard of this issue a couple times and the last resort is to get the microphone replaced. Try the first couple steps first, and then take it in.

Thanks

 

I find the sound quality to be good on mine. I can even have convesrations on the highway with teh top down.

 

It isn't a widespread trait of the unit... Using a Blackberry Storm II, folks I have called using SYNC Bluetooth say the reception is excellent with me sitting in a normal position and speaking normally while driving on a freeway, and I can adjust the volume to hear them just fine....

Try pairing another phone to see if its the SYNC or the phone...

 

So is that how you increase the volume of the mic? Isnt the volume of the radio output only? Bluetooth volume on my droid charge is all the way up.

 

LOVE LOVE LOVE my bluetooth. I've never had one work so well. Just got the new 4g revolution today, sync was quick and easy. If people don't like the way yours sounds, there is a problem with it. This is the only bluetooth I've had that my brother (a picky son of a gun) hasn't complained about.

 

Glad to hear you are happy with your bluetooth, but you made the wrong choice by buying the LG revolution.

 

My Bluetooth sounds great and it's an amazing feature. I chuckle every time I see people in BMW's, Mercedes etc etc holding up their phones to their ears driving one handed

Kudos ford!!

 

Yea, theyre already ready to release the revolution 2 since it was such a flop.

 

Hey i have the base model gt and i have the phone button on my panel by the am/fm buttons, is this bluetooth?it doesnt say anything in the manual i have no idea how to set up or use that button

 

I believe Bluetooth is only available with SYNC, which is standard on the GT Premium , but not standard on the base model (May be an option?).

Quickest way to tell is to locate the "SYNC" badge at the center of the forward end of the center console - red outline on pic below.

 

Might be the phone you have. I have an Iphone 3g and it works great. Windows down and i hear them and they hear me just fine. I lose some features using the iphone tho.

 

Anyone know which verizon phones support bluetooth texting? My Droid Charge 4g surprisingly doesnt.

 

I have the Thunderbolt and mine said unsupported device when I tried.

 

Does anybody know precisely where on the rear view mirror the microphone is? Everybody I call through sync tells me that the road noise just drowns everything out, and I can't hear what they're saying since the noise level on my end is so high that it blocks their speech out. It's frankly pretty annoying. I wanna find it so I can glue a piece of foam over it.

 

Check on the SYNC website cellphone compatibility link

Interesting, Verizons flagship 4G phone doesn't even appear for mine. Well at least it works and the music streams via bluetooth, just wish AppLink worked on mine.

 

I have done some research on this topic and due to safety concerns and laws in some areas, there are very few phones that have the ability to use bluetooth for messaging. This seems to be the same with all wireless carriers.

Hope this helps!

 

Have you paired any other phone besides your Droid? Do you have a navigation radio?

If you like, PM me your VIN and I can tell you whether or not you have SYNC. Vehicles will SYNC will have a USB port, a voice command button on the steering wheel, and a SYNC POWERED By MICROSOFT logo. Which will look something like the pic jimmbbo, posted.

You're kidding, right. It's clearly visible at the bottom of the mirror...and yes that is the reflection of my visor garage door opener in the top left on my 2011. LOL
