I just got back my car from SC and this was one of the bulletins addressed. They said the microphone was installed facing the wrong direction(!). I’ve never heard that one before, but they reinstalled it. However the outgoing audio quality is still not acceptable or usable. It sounds artificial and 'tinny' and isn't clear enough. There is still a fading in and out quality to the recordings. . CarPlay appears to do a slightly better job than native phone app.
Also, it appears the quality is much better stationary than while driving. Out of proportion to just wind and road noise, IMO. Not sure why that would be.
Honestly, without better phone audio, I'm not sure my wife will want to drive this car. Her BMW m50 and our '25 Air Pure are way better.
Really hoping they can figure this out.
