Any way to decrease wind noise for Bluetooth?

The OEM Bluetooth picks up a lot of wind noise at highway speeds - and we have a coupe. Callers cannot hear anything. Has anyone found a way to reduce the noise?

I haven't had that problem, people say it sounds like I'm just talking on the phone.

Mine sounds great, better than my best friends 6 series for sure. Once i switched the mic over to the driver side it got even better.

No issues here... Better than my Silverado.

Are you integrating your MINI's BT capability or an earpiece?

switch the mic from the passenger side to the driver side, it take 2-5 min with no tools

Also make sure you turn your interior blower on a lower setting. For those that have the R57 Convertible then make sure the vent is not blowing on the microphone behind the steering wheel on the column.

This is the MINI's in car BT. At anything above 50 mph the wind noise in picked up by the mic is unbearable. Much worse than any other car mic I've ever experienced even with the windows up and everything turned off. I'll try moving the mic.

Maybe you have a bad mic.
