callers complain- bluetooth issue

[supermanotorious]

I have the Z150 installed in a 2011 GMC Sierra with OnStar integration. The mic is attached to the base of my shifter just behind the steering wheel. I am using an iPhone 5. Callers complain of a constant drumming or thumping noise. They do not complain of a windy noise. Any idea why it would sound like someone hitting a drum?

It sounds like your mic is picking up noise from its location. You may want to try putting your ear on the console near where your mic is while someone else drives the vehicle. Maybe you can here the noise it's picking up.

 

I ran the wire for mine up the "A" pillar, across the front of the headliner, then out through the front of the overhead console. I haven't heard a single complaint about noise during phone calls.

 

My bad. I didn't read your post thoroughly. I assumed console shift.

Maybe your key fob is dangling around and hitting something. Do you still get this sound when you are stationary? How about with the engine off?

thanks for the suggestions, while simple I hadn't thought of them, I called my wife while stationary with engine running and with ignition off in memory mode, she said the noise was not present so I will relocate the mic, possibly to the swivel arm of the sun visor, I'm even considering cutting it and splicing it in to the factory mic in the head liner
