Bluetooth in the Coupe (What's your Opinion?)

[JohnnyK]

Is anyone else horribly disappointed in the hands-free kit with this car? I called 3 people while test driving the 3.8GT by myself and was told that I sounded "Choppy" "Distorted" and "Static-y"

The voice dial worked on only 2/10 names I tried as well...

I just test drove one a couple nights ago, and made a point of testing the Bluetooth with my Apple 3g iPhone. It paired successfully, and it seemed to take my voice commands fairly accurately.

I didn't actually get a chance to try an actual phone conversation, because 2 of my friends I dialed weren't answering their phones.... so can't say how my voice came across on their end?

I did notice that it seemed to have issues voice dialing phone numbers out of my directory when giving both a first and last name. (EG. I had someone in my directory named simply "Katie", but I also have another person listed with a first name of Katie plus their last name. When I said "Call Katie", it correctly dialed the person listed by just first name ... but if I gave it the full first and last name for the other Katie, it still kept trying to dial the first Katie instead.)

(Maybe I was supposed to be saying just the LAST names of people instead?)

Interesting, I also paired the car with my Iphone. I will have to try out the first/last name thing when I pick up my genesis the end of this month. I am curious to see if it will dial correctly if given last name or possible last name then first name (ie "Call Smith, John")

I clicked the "haven't tried it yet" option since I probably won't use it.
