I know there are a few threads mentioning bluetooth issues on the public beta tract, but nothing specific to this problem.

On connecting to my car, I'm getting a lot of pop sounds and general interference. My first thought was that it's something in the car, but now I've read about the other bluetooth issues - are these connected?

I know it's a beta, etc etc, all good there - just wondering if anyone else can say 'yeah it's a bug' etc.

Happens on spotfiy, music and podcasts.

I have that on mine, if I move the phone a few inches away from the dashboard it starts to cut out. Have you tried moving it closer to the dashboard to see if the reception is better?

If that's your issue you might have some part of the same bugs I have. Hopefully you're not suffering the no GPS and wifi issues I have since 9.3 beta 3.
 
I have the same issue when using Bluetooth with any audio system. It seems the issue is back where any phone activity will interfere with the Bluetooth stream and cause pops and cracks. It got better in last week's beta but it's still there some.

I've had the gps randomly die a few times. My phone is generally on the dash but I think you're right - further away it is, the worse it is.

I thought the car had an issue - earth loop or something!
