Bluetooth sound quality
Hello All
I have had my amazing 370z GT for a week now. Everything is great about the car apart from two things, the road noise is awful and it makes me not turn the stereo up. One main concern is the Bluetooth sound quality of the caller, when driving you can hardly hear the caller and turning up the volume makes it worse as the treble hurts my ears. The navigation voice is perfect even at speed but the caller voice is awful. It sounds like the caller has no midrange. Has anyone overcome this ? Sean |
Does it sound that much different than in other cars? Telephone audio is compressed and only a small range of frequencies are used - ie, it sounds crappy to start with.

Hi there
Yeah it is the worst I have heard. Rental VW Gold and Audi S3 are much better sound quality. My previous.Audi A5 sounded amazing at any volume. Seems to be absolutely crap in our cars |

Maybe the Nav system doesn't work as well as the Bose setup I had. Maybe I'm not very picky about phone audio and it really is total crap. ;) Look through the applicable section(s) of the Owner's Manual and you may find a setting that will help. There may be a BT communications setting on your phone/Nav that is not the same on both devices. |
Hi there
Did some testing today. At stand still I can hear perfectly and it sounds fine. At 30mph it's still ok and the caller can be heard. Any faster the road noise is drowning out the sound of the call. |
This is only my 2nd car with BT audio and I have to agree that phone calls are way worst than my 2014 Kia. Not a deal breaker though!
|
Agreed I think it's the noise in the car making it appear worse.
I might investigate sound proofing if I can find a company in the UK who has done our cars before. |
Nissan's Bluetooth phone technology sucks. It is absolutely the worst I've experienced. I thought it was just that car Bluetooth phone quality was bad then I bought a Silverado for a DD and its Bluetooth phone quality is better than I get even if I'm just holding the headset.
It's so bad that when I used my G as a daily I would carry my Bluetooth headset if I needed to talk on the phone. |
Yup, :iagree: the bluetooth leaves much to be desired. My friends have Nissan and Infiniti vehicles and they complain about this same issue.

my BT sounds fine.
get a Pioneer double din. lol |
Hello 370 Team
Today my car is in the shop getting the DAB radio addition fixed. I have a car from Nissan while they have my car. I noticed that the Bluetooth is the same and works really really well. this tells me that the reason i cannot hear is being caused by the road noise. Does anyone know a good sound proofing company in the UK? |

Nissan, for all of the features they have, does not integrate smoothly with phones. There's a fair amount of post-processing to make MP3 and/or Bluetooth sound good, as both are compressed; MP3 over Bluetooth is worse. Nissan isn't strong in that department, Kenwood does a great job on the units I've seen.
I have the phone paired with the Z (Bose+Nav) and a 2015 Murano Platinum Limited, both setups aren't what they could be (for example, sending addresses from the phone and/or a desktop doesn't work). Time to sit down with the manual and this forum and build the connection piece-by-piece. By the way, you guys are great, thanks for posting all the solutions over the years, Search works wonders! |
