MattsSS Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Anyone have good experience using the Pioneer CD-VM1 microphone, or is there a better one to use? My unit may be mounted low on the console so I dont think the built in one will do the trick & the Pioneer microphone seems to be discontinued, so not sure it's a good one... Any suggestions & info appreciated, thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rtonerii Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I would love to know this also. I have On-star in my truck? Is there any way to patch into the wire and avoid having two microphones in my vehicle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retell Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Sure you can, it is really easy if Onstar uses like a 1/8th in jack. You can just get a splitter at Radioshack. Or you can just split the hot and ground wires yourself. Run one set to Onstar and another set to the AVIC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you actualy done this yourself Retell ? the reason I ask is that these are Electret Condenser Mics and have a voltage up the centre conductor to power the Mic electronics, connecting the two units together without some kind of DC decoupling on one of them could damage one or both units.

kraven Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I use a Nokia MP-2 microphone http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/a ... ssory-mp-2 Which is easily velcro'd or taped to the roof lining as the bottom of it is flat. K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Brian for your comment. I almost tried it. Has anyone figured out any way to tap in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Riverman Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Anyone know where I can buy one of these Parrot mics? Which Parrot mic are you looking for? The basic one that they include with their lower-end models is also sold by Garmin for use with their GPS units. I bought one of those at Fry's Electronics for $12.00 or so. It works great and looks much better than the stock microphone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Far better than the stock mic (I have an AVIC-F700BT) .. here is the link to the UK company that is selling these on eBay .. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/DriveSaferDirect_Parrot_W0QQ_fsubZ1567706018QQ_sidZ777345888QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
