Question Bluetooth call quality poor

Have purchased the MB UHI bluetooth adapter that plugs into the UHI connector oin the centre console. All works fine except everyone says that the call quality is poor, boomy, echoe and tinny.

Is this the best or should I buy the Viseeo MBU-2 3rd party version that now reports as being better than MB.

Any other alternatives or recommendations e.g. I should forget BT and install a propoer cradle.

I have an iphone 3G

I got the same issue in the R500

iphone connect via blue tooth, mb dongle...and everyone says the same. When I switch to blackberry people says it sounds noticibly better...leading me to believe it's the phone.

people have said viseeo is better, but if you try it, please post results.

Thanks,
Dave

OK, tried tested and here's the results:
First and foremost Viseeo sound quality is both better and louder
ViseeO slow first SYNC but then loads phone book OK
ViseeO does NOT load call history and redials from iphone (MB does)
ViseeO does NOT display phone name (just says ViseeO) so cannot see which phone is connected (MB does)
Neither show text msg received

In summary MB has better integration but ViseeO is louder and slightly better sound quality.
