All calls have static whether I'm hooked to USB or just on bluetooth. Is this a known issue that has a workaround?

Hello! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this static concern for you? Thank you!

My '22 XL had an unusable mic, anyone I spoke to couldn't understand me until I switched to my handset.

When I got my '23 XL I had several comments about how much better calls sounded, but within a week mic quality became unusable again.

Something needs to be done, this has been reported by hundreds of people here on the forum. I love my Maverick but hate not being able to talk hands-free in a brand new vehicle!

People complain I sounds terrible when I'm using the Maverick mic.

I have to switch to phone use. Not the end of the world, but if there was an easy fix, that would be good news...........

It sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. If it helps I'd be happy to send mine over to you as well.

It’s the fact that ford didn’t put any sound proofing around the Bluetooth microphone in the driver side A frame. I simply pulled my mic out and added some extra poly fill down in the hole and that helped tremendously with call clarity. I plan on getting some more sound proofing foam and really insulating/isolating the mic

Mine sounds like there is some electronic interference on the caller's end, and I know it's not actually their phone with the issue.

Same issue with XLT FX4. I was told when on Bluetooth that I sounded like I was in a convertible with top down. Then I had my wife drive and call me and it sounded terrible. Any fix yet?

Is the microphone the circle near driver left side head? It just pops out or need tool?

Yes, that is where the mic is located. It helps to have something thin that you can slide under the trim piece.
