not just a theory lol
Sorry I wasn't clear enough on my post. I know that it goes from 12V to around 14V when the alternator is running (I can see that on my car too). The interesting part of the theory is wether or not it impacts Bluetooth quality...
Hope we find the reason soon. This is driving me nuts (among other things)

o ok lol i see. it comes from the idea that the other electronics throughout the car can be causing feedback. it more current is flowing through the car while engine is on, it may be causing more feedback. that part is a theory, yes, but at this point any idea can be the cause of it.
Did you guys totally skip over my post on page 3? Maybe you should try this stuff...
I have a Z2 and it was notorious for mic problems. Afew things that helped up in the Z-series forums were:
1) when pairing the phone, make sure the volume is turned less than 1/2 way on the phone
2) set your output to come from the left side only
3) dont turn the output for the voice very high, it can ricochet off the other door and into the mic, causing an echo for the caller on the other end.
Try these things and if they dont work, dig around the Z-series forums. Alot of things were tried and there's plenty of info there.

and maybe you should read the topic again..."F-SERIES BLUETOOTH".not Z. your methods might not work. plus they didnt for me and i have a z3.

Really?!? I guess you know then how long the Bluetooth echo haunted us and these solutions fixed 90% of the problems for us Z owners. Since the f-series are made by the SAME company, the SAME solutions might work...that's just my thought.
I have an F90BT sitting in a box at the house that will be replacing my Z2 but i'm not switching them out until these problems get solved.

im so sorry i didnt write that post, a friend of myne was on here and read me your post and i told him what to write from the other room..he just decided to be a smartass about it.
what i told him to write was 'i have a z3, and those methods didnt work for me. pioneer has come out with a bluetooth update thats supposed to make the Z better, and those methods might not be needed if the F series has the latest.'
again im sorry i just saw your response now and i fee like an ass for what he wrote.
thanks for the apology...
Anybody try unlooping the extra mic wire, yet?

i did. its a little better than it was, it wasnt until i moved the BT piece and messed with the settings that it was good
I know this thread is mostly (if not completely) about bluetooth issues on the F series, but it seemed like the right place to ask more bluetooth questions than starting a new thread. I currently have an Avic D3 with CD-BTB200 bluetooth adapter. Its been working great, but I am wanting to get a new F series unit. One concern I have is that it appears that I am going to lose A2DP bluetooth audio streaming with the new F series decks. Is this the case? I like being able to stream audio from my phone's music player once in a while so if the F series built in bluetooth wont do this, what are the chances of the CD-BTB200 unit working with the F series? I guess I could always use the 3.5mm output of the phone and feed AV2 with it, but A2DP would be preferred.
To reduce interference, has anyone tried placing their phone as close as possible to the HU? Does it help?

ironic i just tried that before to see if the bars on the connection status went up. it didnt do anything.
The first day I had my unit, Bluetooth performed flawlessly. No I cant get it to stay paired.
