Cell phone reception! When I am on my phone, the person on the other end says the background noise is loud while I am driving but as soon as I stop it’s much clearer. Anyone else have any issue with this? and if so, is there anything you can do to make it better? ---

Depends on the location of the microphone. For me, windows need to be closed, AC fan on low. ---
