Bluetooth Calls Sounding Lousy
All of a sudden my bluetooth calls are sounding bad. When the other party speaks the sound is like an old FM station out of tune in the background. I unpaired and re-paired the phone, but no change. Any thought or ideas?

New one to me. My Cayenne has the best hands-free calling quality of any car I have had. Did you try rebooting your phone?

I had a similar problem that drove me crazy for months. The dealer couldn’t figure out why only my phone sounded crappy and only in my car. When I used a different phone in my 2013 CTT it sounded great and when I used my phone in a loaner it sounded great too.
The problem was that I was using “Automatic” (www.automatic.com), a Bluetooth connected device in the OBD2 port and it was causing interference. As soon as I unplugged it, the phone call audio quality was perfect.
FYI, I was using a Samsung Galaxy S7 (now a Galaxy S9) with Verizon.

Mine sucks too. It has kind of a cellophane rattle when the other guy speaks. Deleting the Bluetooth profile from the car and the phone and restarting them both before repairing them gets me a few good days. I have a 2014 base, verizon, and an s8.

I have an iPhone 6. I deleted it and re-paired. That didn't work. The next day and since then, it has worked fine.

reset PCM
PCM CAR > OPTION > Set PCM System > Reset PCM
reconnect phone
will you lose all and/or some settings? yes, maybe. depends on the reset option you pick
will it potentially fix your issue? yes/maybe.
I had some strange bluetooth issues issues before & this PCM reset has worked for me, YMMV
