Ok so I have searched, and searched, and have found some ideas on alternative mics, but no one has given a definite answer as to whether or not they are having luck with an alternative, obviously cheaper, mic than offered by pioneer. I have found them on ebay, for 40 bucks, but everywhere cheaper they are sold out.

I just got the bluetooth module for my z1 on ebay for 50 bucks and in the works for getting an ungraded HD from Garrett since he is in my area, so figure this is the last thing I need before I install the z1 in place of my d3.

any one had any luck using another mic??

any mic will work the same as the pioneer mic, I have an old small computer mic on my visor ( painted black with sharpie).

Thanks, just ordered a garmin mic from car toys for 8 bucks. will give it a whirl and post back results when it gets here.

Garmin mics work very good with our Pioneer units. Don´t go for the double mic one, because the unit has a mono input.

is this going to fit?
