Bluetooth microphone sucks!

[Beachdoc]

Has anyone tried a different microphone with the Pioneer BT unit? Has anyone been successful with it working and people hearing better on the other end? Thanks in advance and sorry if posted out of place or previously answered.

I had the same prob with my Z2 (though not with the Z1 that it replaced, even using the same BT mod). I swapped my mic for one that I had laying around in my tool box. This was an auto EQ mic from my old radio (AVM-P7500DVD). It's a small round mic (Mento-shaped ) and so far so good.

I tried the Mic that came from Panasonic Bluetooth kit, and it didnt work at all. I installed the Pioneer mic, and everything is perfect right out of the box. My mic is above my head to the left of my sunvisor. I also have the music or sound turned off for the phone calls if that helps you out at all!

It's not so much the mic as it is the software. Mics are not noise cancelling. They can be directional. Noise cancelling is in the software.

Actually most mic's ARE noise cancelling, that is why they have those little holes. But that is not what the thread starter asked for...

 

Try moving your mic around. There is a chance that you got a bad mic, I have seen it before, but most likely you have it in a bad spot. Keep it away from your side windows and any vents (defrost, etc.) I have found that near your visor works pretty good. Possibly because the headliner is a sound absorbing material, and cuts down on the echo effect that you can get by putting it at the bottom of your windshield.[/i]
