bluetooth/speaker interference....

miker2013 · 08-15-2014, 02:21 PM

i asked this question last year and didn't get much of a response want to see if anyone else has had the issue.. i have a 2013 with factory bluetooth

every now and again, i get a crackling noise while listening to bluetooth streaming from my iPhone 5s

once i hear it, i immediately change inputs and the cracking is gone so i know its not a speaker issue... seems to come from the tweeters and especially the one closet to the drivers seat, although it may be in the other as well i just can't hear it

is it a bluetooth or speaker interference issue or the music files on my iPhone?

thanks

I have the same issue... works fine and all of the sudden I heard interference. Idk if it is related to the Bluetooth module. Please help

My car is still under warranty so if that is a problem, I can go to the stealership and have it swapped.

i have noticed it a few times... there is no rhyme or reason to it so i think its a bluetooth interference thing, it will be hard to be repeatable for dealer so warranty fix will be tough... i am surprised not more people have heard this

now this is easy to get around by simply plugging in your phone to the car, but i don't like doing that as i don't have a good place to keep the phone once plugged in

I just called the dealership and told them about the issue. Left a voicemail to my SA.

Will they fix it if I say that the issue is not duplicable?
