Default Infotainmemt/ Bluetooth Static

Since the last upgrade. I get quite a bit of static noise when making or receiving a call via Bluetooth. Person I am speaking with says it is crystal clear and they do not hear the static. The noise almost drowns out the person I am speaking with. It seems to get louder with speed.
Any thoughts??

Is your phone being charged at the same time ? If so unplug the charger

I had the same issue and thought it was related to the software upgrade. Before heading to the dealership to launch an official complaint, I decided to try a different headset and the noise was gone. I replaced my headset and no longer have any issues.

I'm always plugged in charging and I SOMETIMES have the static. Hang up and a redial almost always fix it.

Socal...where is your phone located when you are getting the static? Is it in the dash pocket? Or somewhere else?

Any resolution to this problem?

Thanks...Brad
