Default Phone connection

I am finding that i get a lot more complaints about a poor phone connection with my new A6 than i had with my 08 A6 . I have the same phone , a blackberry ( until the IPhone 5 comes out ).
Anyone else finding this or does anyone have any suggestions?

Delete the Bluetooth connections in both the phone and the car and re-pair. It might help. I'm having very good connections with my Thunderbolt, although the phone and car don't always restablish when I get in and start the car.

I've had complaints of sounding underwater on iPhone 4. Same as when it first came out I had the same problem with early iPhone 4 software. Then it got fixed somehow with an iOS update. With new a6 I got the Problem again intermittently. If I switch to iPhone then back to Bluetooth it gets fixed.

I had a 2010 A6 with great bluetooth connection (iPhone 3GS). With this new A6 the other party often states that it sounds like I'm in a tunnel or they hear wind. I also have lots of problems with hearing the other person - it gets choppy as if they have low signal strength; though they claim they don't. I will try what joseaudi indicated.

The second day they had my car they had to reset the MMI because there was no sound coming out (from radio, bluetooth or navigation) - I was told the interface had not switched between applications causing the error.

I have an iPhone 3Gs, and it sounds fine.

I am curious about GREBNET's wireless solution. I may try that to see if there is any difference. I will let you all know.

My Bluetooth stopped working properly with my iPhone. The other party can hear me, but I cannot hear them. I don't hear anything through the speakers. I deleted the profile on the car. I'll check wifi setting. I did recently update my iPhone iOS.

Grrr.

No problems here so far. Call quality is great.
I have an iPhone 4s.

I read that there was a TSB somewhere on the Q5 boards about the microphone seals being crushed during assembly which was letting exterior wind noise filter through to the mic (my wife's Q5 sounds horrible. I need to have Audi have a look on the next service).

I wonder if there's a similar issue with the C7s experiencing this? It's worth a look.

Default Problem resolved!

My problem was caused by having a second electronic device in the car. Once I removed, my phone worked fine.
