2010 Ford Focus - popping / crackling when streaming music over bluetooth

[markdotpeters5]

Hi all,

My Ford Focus from 2010 works very well with my iPhone etc, but when I stream music over bluetooth from any source, it crackles and pops. At the moment I've connected it via the 3.5mm jack because it's so bad.
I can't find any information about any potential software upgrade to the system, and I think it's before the Sync standards were put in. I've tried Ford support on Twitter, but they've so far not been able to help.

Any info gratefully received. 

 

thanks!
Mark

My 08 plate mondeo is doing a similar thing

It's been into ford and they have found that the bluetooth module is not working fully

So I'm getting voice but not streaming and the voice is c@ap you can hear popping and crackles when your talking to someone
