I initially mounted the mic on the sun visor and everything was working fine.

Then I decided to mount it on the top of the A pillar, about 3-4 inches away to the left from where the sun visor is.

After relocating the mic, I noticed the voice recognition doesn't work very well.

I would say: "CALL SHIELA"

and the system would reply: "CALLING ELLIOTT"

Has anyone else noticed it?

I'm going to do more testing tonight, but I will most likely relocate the mic back to the sunvisor.

I'm guessing that at certain locations the microphone will pickup echos or reverberations that may interfere with the unit recognizing the voice command properly. And these areas may even be different depending on what car it's in. Your best bet is to just try it out in different locations and determine the best spot for the mic before mounting it with any kind of permanency.

Ya, I used 3M adhesive, but I'm sure some work with a heatgun or goobegone would take care of that.

I had it mounted to my steering wheel column. It was totally unusable. When making phone calls people couldn't here me at all.

I've now moved it to my sun visor and its much better. Its somewhat noisy still, but I have very noisy truck tires on my Highlander.

Interesting because mine is on the top right corner of my steering column and the quality of phone calls is fine.

Mine is attached to the leading edge of the headliner, just behind the visor, pointed at my face. People say the sound quality is excellent.

Question. If you have a car with onstar, can't you just use the onstar mic?

or it doesnt work that way?

thanks

no?

I found that this was the best placement for the mic

I ended up molding in a tweeter housing and color matching it to the gauge pillar in my car. This area seemed to give the best call quality and the mount supplied by Poineer did not look right or point the mic at the driver in this location.
