Bluetooth radio not sounding good

[scaarface2010]

I just got my new Sonic LT turbo hatchback about a week ago and i love it but when i play music from my phone over bluetooth it sounds horrible. I have a HTC One X smartphone with beats audio and i cannot figure out why it sounds so bad i have also had my friend use his Galaxy S3 and still sounds bad. if anyone can help me that would be awesome.
Thank you

Just for reference, i have a HTC Desire S and the audio is fine

When I got my car the sound system was ultra quiet and didn't sound great either. But after awhile it got louder and now it sounds normal. The speakers were breaking in I believe. But be in mind these are stock speaker in a sub-20,000 $ car so the sound system isn't great. You need to put in a small sun and upgrade the speakers if you want quality.

Is "a small sun" a brand or something?!lol Damn tapatalk.

I just plan on throwing in the Kicker Soundstage in the future and then upgrading the doors speakers if the amp'd stock speakers aren't cutting it. I am honestly not into the bass and loud speakers anymore, if it sounds clean I'm good.

have you changed the tone settings? each mode on the stereo needs to be set. so if you've changed the settings for only the fm radio, they won't carry over to the bluetooth or anything else.

I did have an issue where Bluetooth audio only came out of one speaker. Did it with multiple phones, so the phone was not the cause. I went in to have it serviced and it magically fixed itself one the way to the dealer. I think I got an update on the way to the dealer.

The updates occur through Onstar. Is your Onstar active? If not activate and ask if there is a bluetooth update.

First post. Wrong sub forum. Not a good start.
