Nice stereo, poor bluetooth quality

I was most excited about the stereos bluetooth capabilities. My car is older and this receiver does a very poor job of picking up my voice. I tried to use it to make calls for a few weeks, then gave up. The bluetooth does usually work to stream music, although at time it becomes choppy.

Everything else about this receiver is really nice. I like the UI. It looks great. It sounds great!
