    Where is the microphone for bluetooth phone?

    As per thread title, where exactly is the microphone? I have connected by phone using bluetooth into the car, but when i make/receive calls, the other person always says they cannot hear me well at all. I try speaking pretty loud and they still say it's not great. Can this be adjusted at all?

    I think it's that little grille you see on the ceiling right behind the map lights

    If you have problems with others hearing you, take it to your dealer and have it checked. I have seen other posts on this forum that people had a bad mic. They said that their passenger could be heard fine, but not the driver. Once they took it in to be checked, it was easily fixed.

    I may have to get mine checked as well then. Is it a bad mic or bad positioning? If the passenger can be heard one would assume bad positioning

    I wondered if it was that, did lean forward and direct my voice at it and was told i could be heard slightly better but still not great. Bearing in mind i was talking pretty loudly at this point too, testing it out, i was quite disappointed in it.

    I will speak to a local dealer and see what they say.

    I am one of the people that had a problem. From the drivers side, people could barely hear me. From the passenger side, the phone performed fine. There are two mics. My driver side one was faulty and when it was replaced, then both sides performed fine.

    i noticed when I use different cell phones, people either hear me loud or barely hear me at all. Might be the phone (or might not).
