Default iPhone 6 blue tooth quality - terrible

Kids got me to abandone my android in favor of an iPhone 6. Android was crystal clear. iPhone quality is terrible. I am habitually accused of making calls with ac on high and windows open. Starting to like the phone but the blue tooth quality is a deal killer. Anybody with same problems or a solution?

There is a known issue with bluetooth that can be addressed through an MMI update. Until then, try deleting the phone and pairing again. You should be OK for a bit until it sounds like a wind tunnel again. I had the same issue until I got the update. So far no issues with the update.

My iPhone 5 works terrific! People cant even tell I'm talking thru my bluetooth.

And the music thru bluetooth from phone to B&O sound is fantastic.

I would think the iPhone 6 would be just as good if not better.

Well, with windows down I've had people tell me that they knew I was in the car.

For best sound resolution, it would make sense to have the windows up at least.

A/c at full blast shouldn't be a huge hinderance to bluetooth resolution in our cars. It never has been in mine.

I am running v5.4.7 MMI. Is that the latest? Last time car was at the dealer, (2 months ago) they said it was up to date. Any idea? Thanks.

If the central vent on the dashboard is pointing upward, the mic indeed sounds like you're driving with all windows down. Try to point all ac vents downward and check whether this resolves the issue.

The iPhone mic's are so sensitive they pickup the slightest wind noise. The AC vents are indeed the main culprit on the phone calls. Not sure about the blue tooth quality issue you are having as my phone on BT through the B & O sounds fantastic as KnappAttack said.
