Hey guys, I have done a bit of a search and come up with nothing specific to my question/problem,

My bluetooth handsfree works well and is responsive to commands etc from my end while using it to call people when in the car, But the people I am speaking to on the other end say I have a rather large Echo happening and it's a bit hard to hear me, I have a Samsung S3, Anyone had similar issues or even better a solution to the issue?

Thanks in advance guys!


*sorry wrong section too :oops: ,, please move mod's if an issue

I've heard there has been some issues with mic's, maybe someone can elaborate but Im told Toyota are aware of it. Might be worth giving your dealer a call.

Yeah might do that, ;)

Frustrating as I spend a lot of time on the phone due to the nature of my business/work,,
