I have this too. I tend to get a good amount of feedback through my speakers. Have you guys noticed that?

No, I've heard no feedback from my BLU-C5. Did you install behind the radio or in the back of the car?

Behind the radio. Also today the driver side speakers were cutting in and out. I love the capabilities of the unit but it has been a little inconsistent for me.

No feed back just CD quality sound.

It will blip when you start the car when it links to tell you it is linked. Same if you have the bluetooth remote button.

That's really odd. It's pretty tight behind the radio; you might try pulling the radio, reseating the wire connectors, and changing how/where you stuff all the wires back in. I had a problem with the radio on my first attempt; fortunately I tested it with the radio back in before reassembling the trim.

I have done that already and packed the unit back out of the way almost behind the glove box. Seems like I have a unit with loose connections some where.
