I was on the phone with Handsfree link support and they confirmed the issue of the very noisy connection. Took the car to the Honda dealer and they said the issue was the car microphone and the issue is still there after they replaced the microphone.anyone getting issues using their HandsFreeLink in their 2012 Civics?
I have a 12 Civic EX Coupe and have been getting complaints that there is a very obnoxious sound coming from their phone's speaker. I figured it has to be coming from the car's Bluetooth because when I switch to using my phone the noise is no longer there.
if I could post sounds I'd show you an example. Honda says they can't do anything about it until they duplicate the issue, but every time I call them using Bluetooth they don't hear the sound.
I finally recorded the sound, but the Service rep still said that they need to be able to duplicate it, not just hear it from some recording.
HELP! it has happened far too many times, and I want this fixed.
I called my work phone from my iPhone with HFL this AM and listened to the recording at work. What I am hearing is the noise level go way up when there is silence! While talking it is not great, but better. The system appears to have an automatic volume control system which make the noise level go up during what should be 'silent' passages. As is the system is really poor and I get complaints from people I talk to so much I have to switch to the iPhone directly. I am sure it is not the iPhone as music plays flawlessly via bluetooth and the iPhone Microphone is not used while talking with HFL.
I am interested in any other comments or fixes to this issue. By the way, I had a 2010 Acura TL with HFL and I never had any complaints making calls them.
