My messages are garbled and people can't hear me. They hear the whizzing sounds of my moving -- when I am at a stop sign my voice can be heard. When I'm moving people can't hear me. Anyone else having this issue?

Do you mean you have issues with the hands-free microphone in your car when the car is travelling at speed and the road/wind noise makes it impossible for someone to hear you?

The design and the placement of the microphone hasn't changed for most owners since 2012 when it was introduced so much of the information applies to the 2016 as well as the upcoming 2017. The only drastic things that have changed are the headunit and the Eyesight (as the assembly holding the microphone has changed) feature.

The noise seems to be coming wind noise off the roof and the low amounts of insulation (ie none) between the roof and the microphone assembly.
