“Every time I received call on my cell bluetooth seems like voice breaking up. It is not the phone problem. I have checked the same phone in my other cars and works fine. This bluetooth needs software upgrade.”
NHTSA complaint #10542900, filed 2013-09“I purchased a new 2013 Prius. I've own several toyotas and never had a reason to suspect Toyota would put anything but the best quality accessories on their cars.
