e500 BT phone can't hear me...already searched

so first things first i did search, even that sticky on BT phones which was VERY comprehensive didn't cover it. one guy did ask on topic but no one answered.

i have an 04 e500 and has the BT w/ the adapter in the center console for the motorola vseries adapter/phones. i have a samsung rogue and have used the BT phone for a little over a month. now for the past week the other party isn't hearing me talk. initially i deleted the connection and reconnected and it would work...now i can call and use the phone but no one can hear me talk.

what to do?

TIA
vern

Did you make any OS upgrades on the phone? Sometimes bt software on the phone doesn't work well with car bt device. Ice experienced it when upgrading os, had to downgrade the phone back to get it working again.

Hmm could be the bt pick gone bad, could be microphone. I'd rltry with another phone first. Then see if any board members in the area that can lend you bt to try out. Or you can stop by dealer and se if they have one in stock that you can try.

I have the problem on another model phone. When it happens, I delete the Bluetooth connection to the puck and remove the battery from my phone momentarily, then reinstall the battery and re-establish the Bluetooth. Something of a pain, but it works for me.
