Default Poor call quality?

About the only thing I had time to test on my new truck was the hands free calling. I have an iPhone 6 Plus and it worked great in my GMC. When I called my wife, she said it sounded like I was talking through the far end of a long tube. Anyone else having calling issues?

Quite the opposite in my case, I had a pioneer aftermarket unit in my previous vehicle. I talk to my father occassionally who always complained about the fidelity, and he says the new truck sounds worlds better (very loud and clear).

I have an iPhone 6+ as well, 302a MFT/Sync

I'll do more testing tonight. I have the 302a MFT/Sync as well. Maybe it was just a bad connection.

It sounded great in the truck. It was the other side that did not.

I've had NO issues with bluetooth connectivity with my Samsung Galaxy S5. Everything works fine, and people I talk to have remarked how clear I sound.

You may need to turn up some volume control on the microphone (??)

I tested this right after I bought my truck. The call sounded like I had the phone right up to my head.

I have an iphone 6 plus and I get the same complaints on my call quality. Sounded fine in the wifes volt, my old focus and my old F150. Let me know if you figure anything out.

I have a 15 Platinum and an iPhone 6 Plus and yes, anyone I call says I sound like I am in a tunnel. I don't have this issue in any other vehicle I own.
