Since a few weeks I have a terrible echo when making a phone call on bluetooth. It also happens when connected by cable. I know there is some form of noise cancelling in the car and can this have something to do with the echo during phone calls?

I posted this 3 years back and not much response. Now that we have a lot more members, anyone also suffering from this?
It's with every brand of mobile phone and happens on my V60 2020. When I use the same phone in my Polestar 2, all is good, no echo to be heard.

Damn, maybe a damaged microphone? is it worth to get used ones to try a replace? I have no real clue and what it possibly costs and how much are in the car. Sorry to hear that you need life with this s***

Did you ever tried a full car reset?

I would vote on microphone, would be a cheap-ish test to do.

I had it in my previous T8 also, so a broken mic is not something I suspect. Maybe it's the active noise cancelling of the car?

Afaik you can disable the advanced noice canceling, did you try that too? I read there is an orbit option to turn that off.
