in Kenwood car stereos there is an additional function for 'mic gain'. This option shows up only when you are on a call. By default this value is set very low. Increasing this all the way up resolved the problem for me.

😂 funny enough I never knew I had this same mic after getting the apple CarPlay screen installed. I thought it just used the existing default mic my car had. The mic blended so well with the black trim around the mirror and I never knew it was there. Had it installed 6 months ago lol

Must be setting in the retrofit device. It is bypassing the normal system.

@@Fastskull well starting from a total noninformative question. What system do you have ? if it’s bypassing the normal Audi components the bypass should automatically take over the sound. The iDcore unit automatically took over the sound. Remember the sound 3,5 from the IDcore unit must be connected to the Audi MMI port (C7) situated in the compartment between the front seats.

Unfortunately too much of a hassle to do it again. The cable is easily snugged in along and above the windscreen to the right Rollbar on the side down and in behind the glove compartment to the retrofit CarPlay system.

Actually it does. Otherwise you can always move the microphone to the other side of the mirror or even below it.

@mr_fix Жыл бұрын
If you know where the current microphone is placed in the car you can always trace the cable to where it is connected. The microphone you see in my video has a long thin cable that ends up with a “male” 3.5 adapter that is stuck into/connected to the retrofit CarPlay device. No matter what kind of connector you have there is always loads of options to convert one type of Audio cable to another.

@@mr_fix Thanks for the encouragement. I know where the mic is located and and get to it and fabricate the connector. Having a hard time finding a replacement though. May I ask what kind/brand of microphone you used?

Don’t really understand. If there is a device that is bridging between your car and your old car stereo, you have to connect the microphone to that bridging device. After that, it depends on what menu you’re working in if it is the menu of the retrofit device, it is the internal microphone you choose
