Have you tried other phones? Maybe there is an issue with the bluetooth connection.

I personally think it's the bluetooth unit as I've never had any complaints about people not being able to hear me or bad call quality.

I did some checking around, it seems the Parrot systems use omnidirectional mics.

What I did now was soldered a 3.5mm female jack on the end of it to test out several different mics.

I will post my results if any one is interested. I think a relocation as you suggested Wrathernaut maybe the solution. Along with a better mic.

And yes I noticed the one I asked about (after I posted it, my bad) was omnidirectional.

I have tried my blackberry too (work phone) same results.

I couldn't find anything about whether the garmin one I use is omni-directional or not, but it's $15 and works well.

Wrathernaut if you do a google search for "name of the mic omnidirectional"

is how I looked it up.

I tried, but I was in a bit of a rush. It was not listed as such on the Garmin site, or the sites I saw selling it.

If you found information that it is omnidirectional please link to it.

Hey, do you guys think it could be the Bluetooth Antenna?

Just a thought...

Doubt it, otherwise you couldn't hear them fine, which the OP says he can.

That only leaves the bt unit itself...

Weird thing is, is that when I do a memopad record, it is very clear. I will test some more with my blackberry this time, to see if I get different results...

I am thinking this new mic is good, my friend said it was louder, but still garbled.

Are you trying with the vehicle in motion for all the tests?

Here's what I use with my Pioneer headunit, and again, no complaints at all from the other end:

I'm assuming the microphone your using will work fine with the stock HU? I plan on splicing it onto the existing wires if so.
