The bluetooth. When on a phone call sometimes the person I am speaking with hears a loud horn while I'm driving and sometimes when I am making a turn. I have put it in the shop twice where I was told it just needed a software update. The second time which was a week ago I was told that there was an issue between iphone 11's and land rover
