Bad blue tooth connection with Android?

Heads up, if this hasn't already been posted on this board, but Android Bluetooth quality hasn't been the best in all my trucks. When receiving a call in my truck, the caller gets a nasty sqealing noise. Tried removing and reconnecting many times. No luck.


Well, I got an Iphone and it's seemless and perfect connection.

I had a Motorola Android when I first got my truck and it worked great. No issues at all. I later made the move to an I-Phone also. It too, works great. Maybe your truck needs a firmware or software reload.

Are you using the same phone for the gauges and phone use through the SYNC?I'm using the dongle from my old 6.0 and the same LG Optimus Android phone. I use a different Android phone as my phone connected through bluetooth to SYNC. I haven't had any problems. The Torque Pro actually connects faster and is more reliable in the 6.7 than it was in the 6.0.

This sqealing might be cause by the phone and truck mic being too close (Feed back), or turned up too high.

Interesting to hear others don't have an issue.


My 2011, 2013, and 2015 all had issues with android Samsung phones. 3 phones, in 3 different SD's and all didn't work well.
