Hands free audio

[TheMightyKingTubby]

Hi
When making a call using the Bluetooth hands free yesterday I noticed that the callers voice seemed to only come from the left side speakers. I don't think any sound came out of the drivers side speakers

Is this normal? The speakers on the drivers side work fine for playing music etc

Yep, normal. That's just the way it works. Likewise the satnav voice only comes from the drivers side door.

Kev.

sides depending on LHD or RHD model; on german models you can hear it from right side speakers (codriver side)

Cheers. Slightly odd but so be it

I'm pretty sure our Prius behaved the same, you know. I'm not sure, but I guess it may be something to do with feedback suppression. When you are running a hands-free, the output of the speaker is picked up by the microphone - it may be that they mix in an antiphase version of the incoming audio to cancel out the feedback signal - a lot harder to achieve with a stereo image to process.

That makes sense. Cheers
