Bluetooth Phone Calls Echoing For Other Person

thegazelle85 · 09-14-2020, 01:24 PM

Hi there - interesting issue - not sure what the culprit would be. So on my 2011 535i whenever I call my girlfriend (or anyone else), she hears an really bad echo on her end, of her talking but delayed a bit. I have a 328 as well and it doesn't have this issue. I did put in an Android head unit with wireless carplay, so I am not sure if it is this that is the issue, or the bluetooth in the car. Unfortunately I was not able to make any calls before the Android head unit was put in, so not sure if bluetooth phone calls was a problem before. Anyone know what I can possibly check? I have turned down the volume but it doesn't really matter. Person on the other end still hears an echo of themselves talking, which makes the car bluetooth unuseable. I have done the multimedia update of the software, but that hasn't done anything. I have an iPhone Xs if it makes any difference.

Thanks for any feedback (no pun intended!) you can provide.

Are you turning down the volume on the touch screen or using the buttons on the steering wheel?
