got my phone cradle today to use with Nokia but although sounds great my end there is apparantly lots of interferance for the person I am calling ...any suggestions??

 

Welcome to the forums. I assume that this cradle is a hands-free cradle for use in your car?

 

yes it is

 

I'm guessing that they are picking up lots of engine/road/wind noise. You're just putting your phone on speaker during these calls?

 

Well it automatically answersa and dials out via voice tag so I am not specifically using speaker, however I am new to all this so would appreciate advice!

 

But my point is that you're not using a Bluetooth headset or anything, the phone is basically acting as a hands free speakerphone, right?

 

No not using bluetooth the phone sits in a cradle in the central consort.

 

I'm guessing it's just engine/road/wind noise they're picking up on the other end. When you go into "hands-free" or speakerphone mode, your phone turns up the gain on the microphone so that it can pick up your voice clearly from a farther distance away. Unfortunately, it's amplifying all the other noises too. I recommend you look into a BT headset or a wired earpiece if your phone supports it. There's not much else you can do. You don't have your windows down / fan blowing on high while you're talking do you?

 

I had the same thing on a Nokia car cradle, great for me, bad for other party. The installer had put the mic on the A pillar. I moved it to above the windsheild on the headliner aimed at me, no more reception noise for the other party.

 

thanks will look into ... most helpful ...cheers!
