Thread: D4 Factory Bluetooth Handsfree - Where is the mic?

Not certain, but I thought it was where the map lights are?

Regards,

Les.

Yep, up the top where the map lights are, absolutely the worst place for it too, the wind noise from the roof makes it almost impossible for the incoming caller to hear anything you say.

I'm pretty sure Phil(Discowhite) put some insulation foam up there to insulate the mic from the roof(there is no isulation up there at all

Baz.

I've never had any comments from people about noise but don't have a roof rack which could be the cause.

I agree with Graeme,

I use my phone almost every day in the car & others say it's VERY good.
Roof rack or sunroof, perhaps windows down(the climate control is so good my windows aren't down too often!).

Les.

Maybe the 3.0l SE is insulated up there and old basic 2.7l isn't

By the way Graeme, how's it going down your way, your area OK

Hi Baz, the hands-free on my D4 3.0 is really good, to the point where people are surprised that I am driving.
Not sure whether the 2.7 is less insulated......maybe?

I do know that Toyotas handsfree is carp. Know quite a few and it gets annoying having to yell into the phone.

Cheers, Craig.

Thanks all for the replies. OK, so now I have potentially 2 reasons to get into the map light area:

1) To install a 2nd microphone if I were to purchase the aftermarket touchscreen unit (that has a separate bluetooth module)

or

2) If I skip the whole aftermarket touchscreen, and just install a mirror monitor, then I need to get the wiring up there.

Are there any instructions on the best way to get wires into that part?

Cheers,
Edwin.

All OK - high and dry in the hills to the north, just can't get anywhere much.
