Iphone 8 in MY10 crackle

Anybody else have a MY10 and upgraded to an iPhone 8...
If so does your phone crackle when making a call via the bluetooth, mine does and it is so bad I can't really have long phone calls.
My old iPhone 6 was fine and I have swapped this new iphone 8 out once and it still does it.
I have linked it to a VW Transporter at work and its fine so its only my car.

I know apple had an issue with crackling on the iPhone 8 but I think this is different as its only when linked via bluetooth in MY car that I get the issue.

Anybody else??

I have an 8+ and a MY11 with no issues. Apple has recently patched the iOS for a know crackling issue. Do you have the latest iOS (11.0.2 I think)?

The blurb states:

yes latest software on phone so not that.

The iPhone 8 is on bluetooth version 5 and I think version 4 was around 2010 so maybe your car has a newer bluetooth module and mine is running the older version 3 bluetooth?

Just in case anybody wants to know it is possible to update the software on the BT module, not sure it fixed my issue but it is never the less updated to the latest.

How did you update it? - mine is actually OK (albeit on a Iphone 5S and a Samsung J5 6) - but interested to know

I didn't do it, the guy I use to service the car did, he's handy with a computer.
Not sure if it solves my problem but the bulletin that he gave me shows it fixes lots of issues

No not really...some days its worse than others. I just leave the phone on the back seat and that seems to help as its nearer the module.
