This seems not only an Cardo/Garmin-XT (compatibility?) problem. And as it worked in previous firmware version of the XT, Garmins should be able, if willing, to solve this. I also don't expect Cardo releasing a firmware update, as they haven't done so in a long time (despite there being known bugs)

edit: I ment 'not only'

It would appear to not be solely a Cardo / XT problem.

As I suspected my Sena unit performed exactly the same today when I took it out for its first trial.
The ring volume was stupidly loud and when I answered the crackling was extensive.

Has anyone tried their comms unit connected directly to the phone and disabling calls to the XT??

Yes

Between the cardo and the phone it is perfect

Add in the XT and its useless!

I am wondering if it is a conflict with having the phone connected to the headset as well as the XT

I do not have my phone paired with my Freecom and I still have the problem. I am running 6.20 on the XT.

If I connect the phone to the Freecom and make a call, it works just fine.

So we have Cardo and Sena users having this issue. Hmmm. Me thinks the XT might be the problem....

Likewise, I do not have my phone connected to the Sena, only to the XT so I would agree that this issue seems to be caused by the XT.

I think we all need to report this to Garmin and get as many people as possible to do the same!

I emailed them with all the details too. We'll see if they think it is a problem on their side, or if they will point their finger at the headset manufacturers (probably the latter).

I have noticed the same problem so what I did was to pair my Sena 50s to the phone and the xt but did not pair the phone to the xt. Everything works. I do not need the additional features that phone and xt pairing bring to the table. I think part of the problem is that having a phone call go from phone to xt and then xt to send 50s or any other bluetooth connection adds signal degradation.
