Bluetooth worthless?

Just picked up a brand new 2014 TL; I have it paired to my iphone 6; no connection issues but the noise on the other end is horrible! people think i'm in a wind tunnel at all times/all speeds; is this normal??? should i have the dealer take a look and maybe replace the mic? help!

Not sure if this is even possible but make sure your AC vent (or defroster) isn't blowing on the mic.

I have an '09 so I'm not sure if they've upgraded the bluetooth mic/mechanism, but when I use bluetooth on a call the person on the other line right away can tell that I'm driving. A lot of times I have to repeat myself. I always close the windows and turn off AC/heat.

Must have something to do with the configuration. I always use handsfree bluetooth. In my last car people would notice, in the TL no one does. In fact I often ask some close buddies "can you tell I'm in my car on Bluetooth?" since I was so used to it not sounding good. They say it's noticeably different than when I'm talking right into the handset, but still very clear and good sound quality.

Same here. Mine works very well. Better than the BT in our '13 Accord. That one always works, but you can definitely tell the call is coming from a BT car set-up.
