So I decided to take apart the bluetooth assembly this evening.. See attached pics.

It was really easy -- so now I just need to find a new microphone.

Probably going to head to radio shack or a local electronics store tomorrow to see what I can replace it with..

Will let you know if I get this dumb thing working any better.

Cheers,
Brian

 

Good luck. Make a DIY if you can. Thatd be great

 

Is the problems stemming from the microphone itself? Or just the volume? I'd like to know the outcome, g/l

 

So just got back and hooked up a 3.50 special from Radio Shack.

Routed the mic so it is hanging out and pointing at me, but seems to be about the same. :P

What can I do to get more volume? I could get a mic that adds gain, but then you get into using a battery and how do you deal with turning it off and on..

Any theories would be apperciated and I'll be happy to try..

wouldn't you only need a battery if the voltage/amps required for the gain exceed what the wiring provides?

 

btw, this is a great idea. the awesome thing would be to find a noise cancelling mic that is plug and play with the wiring... i think that would help TREMENDOUSLY

 

I dont care about volume, Ill yell if I have to. I care about the clarity

 

I'm assuming the clarity problem is coming from lack of consistant volume?

 

Keep us posted, this problem drives me crazy. It was one of the options I wanted more than anything and I'm so disappointed with it.

 

Good luck! Keep us posted.

 

LOL! I just speak louder and with more clarity when I use the in car Bluetooth.
Everyone is used to it by now..

 

really looking forward to your outcome

 

Perhaps...... something like this?

Modified of course.

 

Just ordered one Redline -- haven't had a lot of time to deal with the car recently except driving it.

I picked it up from here:
