Hello all. Fairly new to the board and new owner (actually) lessee of 05 RL. My question is about the HFL sound quality.

I use a SMT5600 via ATT/Cingular. Everyone tells me I sound terrible when using the HFL, like I am underwater or muffled. Some say they can barely understand me. The mic opening in the ceiling is pretty small and I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

So my question is Is this the phone or the HFL system?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Sorry for posting here if I should have posted in the TL forum re Audio, Bluetooth, etc.

 

Have you tried your phone with other Bluetooth products, such as a Bluetooth handsfree headset? If not, it might be your phone.

I have the Sony-Ericsson T616 and a Bluetooth headset and the quality is pretty good. I've also used the phone in a TL before and the people I called didn't have any problems hearing me.

 

Thanks, CGTSX2004. I have not tried the phone with a headset but will see if your theory is correct. And it's not that people can't hear me, it more like my voice is muffled and tough to understand (more then normal, anyway).

Thanks again for your response.

 

I have the T616 with Cingular also and have not had any complaints. Prior to HFL in the RL and my wife's 05 MDX, we were using a Jabra wireless headset, which worked real well.
