Hi all,

I thought I'd ask if anyone is annoyed or troubled by their integrated bluetooth system. I have a Presara. I found that I had to speak very loudly and directly towards the microphone which is located in the front centre light console. The user manual didn't offer any assistance. I was so disappointed as I spend a lot of time on the phone (mostly work) and people were complaining that they couldn't hear me and the call quality was crap. It was basically unusable in my experience.

I managed to fix this problem myself by navigating into the config screens of the Sat Nav unit and increasing the Microphone gain (I think it was called "Transmit Sound Level") from 0dB to +5dB. Now it's perfect, what a difference! If anyone wants more detailed (step-by-step) instructions on how to do this, let me know and I'll post. The instructions would work for the Presara or for any other models which have the pricy integrated Sat Nav unit. Not sure if they'd work for the "black" cheaper Sat Nav unit, but you could always try.

I'm so happy with the unit now, can even drive with the sunroof open while talking on the phone and it all works so well (no noise from the air flow, no more complaints from the other parties).

Have a 2009 AT-X with 6 stacker and have the same problem, good reception but atrocious transmission. Contacted dealer who wantys to check software on phone, and see if the "gain"can be adjusted, if these do not fix problem they will order a new head unit which can take up to three months to arrive.

Toyota have known about the problem for some time, it would be nice for them to cxontact owners and inform them.
