so after an extensive search, i have only come across a single thread (which wasn't of much help to me at all) so i am now asking fellow members.
i'm sure most of you know how bad the bluetooth call quality is on the GS models. i have absolutely no problem listening in on the receiving end of the call however, i have received several complaints about people not being able to hear me. to my understanding, there is some sort of service menu that can be accessed and used to adjust the quality/clarity and such. does anyone know how to do this? furthermore, i am open to any/all methods (aftermarket systems, etc.)
as always, help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

Sorry to hear about your problem, but you should not say that all GS Bluetooth phone service is crappy. At least mine works great in both outgoing and incoming. I have asked people whom I am talking to how the reception is and they say great. If you have any warranty left take it up with the dealer warranty department and be firm about resolving the issue.

I think you hold the info button and turn the headlights on and off three times to get to the menu. Then you will be able to get to the Bluetooth settings and increase the mic sensitivity.
However be careful because if you make it to sensitive then you will pick up a lot of background noise and it will be worse.
Also make sure your ac vents are not pointing upwards. The flow of air from the ac can cause noise for the mic which is located by the rvm.
