Duner2

im completing the install and making sure everything works. i have found that the mic makes noise. it sounds like a wind tunnel or a slight buzzing sound. i verified it cuz i called myself from a different phone to see what everyone was talking about. i hear a lot of ppl saying that moving the mic. i'll try that 2m morning and i'll try the electrical tape. i figure its just interference from the actual unit. hopefully, i can find a fix cuz im itching to complete the install and put my center console back together.

 

Duner2, did you find a fix for your C?

Unfortunately I haven't found a fix yet. I tried the tape thing and moving the mic all over the car. I think its a bad mic but I don't want to go through the trouble of pulling the unit out until I'm sure that is the problem.

I talked to Pioneer and they think it may be a bad mic but they are not sure. Before I tear the dash apart again I was hoping someone made a better noise canceling mic that I could just switch it too. But I will give the tape idea a try and see if it helps.

I have tried moving the stock microphone all over the car and the out going sound quality is terrible. The Z110 is in a Mercedes C class, I also have a F90bt in a Chevy Diesel Pickup and it sounds much better. Is there a better microphone available out there? I have read that part number CD-VM1 is a better choice than the stock CPM 1083. Has anyone tried the CD-VM1 or have any better choices?

If you already know the route what do you need the navi for anyway???

I just got the F90 on ebay new for $555 to the door. I will be installing in the morning.

 

Only problem there is ebay = no warranty

There is a 3 year warranty through Pioneer.
