static from speakers with iphone and bluetooth

Posted Jan 05, 2009 · 23:08 UTC#1

hey everyone,

i've got a 900bt in my vw mk4 r32. everything works well so far except the speaker sound when using my bluetooth on my 1st gen iphone.

i get minor feedback (buzzing sound) from the front speakers when my phone is near the head unit (near being 2ft or closer). in order to stop this feeback i need to put the phone in the backseat which almost eliminates it.

anyone else have this problem?

thanks!

Does the sound go away if you turn off the EDGE data support?

GSM phones with EDGE are known for being very noisy with RF interference. You can cut down on it with proper grounding, but never really get rid of it in many cases.

i didn't try turning off edge. i'll give that a shot tomorrow and see how it works.

thanks!

i can't disable edge because I'm running v2.2 and Apple has decided that I shouldn't have access to that any longer. :roll:

i made a call this morning with my phone in the center console and didn't get any static. weird?

thanks for the help!

I'm not really sure what bt speaker you're using for your iPhone. I'm using Supertooth (i got it from Hypercel) and it seems to be working fine.
