Poor Bluetooth Quality

[DiavelDes]

I've had Zumo 550, 660 and now a Navigator VI and all have been plagued with poor Bluetooth quality, it does seem to depend on connection order whether I get very good quality or poor crackly quality. I'm now looking to move to the Zumo XT, have Garmin finally fixed the BT quality issues or do they still not admit its an issue and the XT suffers too?

Phone calls on through the XT are a bit crackly at times but the rest seems fine to me

I always take calls directly from the phone now

Good to know, I'll start looking for a deal.

Always the best price

[DiavelDes]

Garmin list the XT as £349.99 but SBS says list price is £429.99

£344.99 is what I am seeing on SBS

Was £429.99 though

Have Garmin reduced the price?

You have to use BT with the Zumo XT. I have found it to be very clear. - providing the BT devices are clear of the rear of the bike, where the ECU is located. It interferes with the reception very badly.

I get it crystal clear some times and crackly others, can be in the same day.
