Might want to doublecheck Handsfreelink site (www.handsfreelink.com) because it sounds as if you may have an incompatible phone so if that's the case, all bets are off ...

The issue is with the poor sound quality. I have tried two phones of the same model with identical results.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I don't know if it will help the sound quality, but my dealership ordered a new microphone that will be installed next week. I doubt it will help but who knows, worth a try. I will post the results after I get a chance to test it.

I guess our Bose expert flew the coop.
But as much praise as the RL's system gets, I ALWAYS find it overly "treble", especially at lower volume levels, no matter how much bass or center I dial in. IOW, I can go from my ELS-equipped '07 MDX to the RL, and the RL immediately sounds almost tinny by comparison. Crank up the volume and it seems to come to life, but I don't go around with the volume at 20-25 all the time or I'd go deaf.
I agree the RL's system has good definition of upper-register sounds (soprano vocals, glass breaking, etc.), and can also render some impressive bass (the thunder on your demo CD), but getting both from a CD or DVD that has a wide dynamic range seems to be hard for it. I have to say my ELS systems (in my old '06 TL and my current '07 MDX) have just done a better job. You have to be careful with the ELS, though, because too much bass will make it overdrive the speakers and go all muddy.
After a few minutes in the RL, though, I guess my ears adjust, because the Bose starts sounding fine.
