iPhone mic volume

rockmed · 08-25-2008, 12:15 PM

I'm using iPhone first generation with firmware 2.0 over bluetooth and people complain that my voice seems far and low. Anyone experiencing this and how can it be resolved?

Not really. Depends on the phone. Some suck. Some don't. First I have heard of the old iPhone having issues though.

I have 1st gen iPhone (jailbroken but that shouldn't matter) and I was amazed at how clear it is compared to my X5.

I remember the product specialist told me BMW had worked with Apple to integrate the iphone, I didn't believe it until I used it.

it's low even when you crank up the volume ?

Are you using bluetooth or Snap-in Adapter? I can hear extremely well, the problem is the person I am calling can't hear me very clearly. Is there a MIC volume control somewhere?

Bluetooth , I didn't know there was a snap-in adapter for the X6.

In the US I believe you need to order several additional parts to get the snap in adaptor to work. Other countries supposedly if you order the phone option, all you need to do is order the snap-in adaptor for the specific phone; the phone tray comes pre-installed.

I think I figured it out. Basically, lowering the volume on the iPhone to about 10%, then increasing it from the car seems to improve the mic volume.

It seems that firmware 2.0.2 seems to solves most of the problems, no problems from my side.
Upgrade it to 2.0.2 ;-)

*** KNOWN ISSUE ***

When Apple released OS 2.0 the Bluetooth problems began.

I switched from the original iPhone to the 3G iPhone and I basically can no longer use my phone. The Bluetooth echo is so bad its not worth even using.

There are lots of BMW owners up in arms about this. We are anxiously awaiting OS 2.1 due in September.

See some of the threads in the Apple support forums. It;s a widely known problem, volume and echo issues.

NOT FIXED with 2.0.2. I have it on both of the iPhones in my family.
