I mounted the physical mic on my steering column. Works well. I have not had any complaints about not being able to hear me. Siri works well with it.

It works very well. I have it installed in my yatch and the mic will pick up my voice anywhere in the salon.

The Bluetooth is horrible on this unit. Don't buy it. It has many many firmware issues, not to mention poor bluetooth support.

If your talking about the built in microphone for the Bluetooth hands-free calling you don't have to plug anything in for that. If its not working the microphone is either defective or the setting in your phone are not allowing input from that microphone. What is the year make and model of your vehicle?

In my opinion, it isn't really designed for phone calls. First, the mic is on a back of speakers and duality of sound is lower for phone, than for music.At least for my Motorolla phone. But for listening music it is great.

This is for people like you and me that DON'T have Bluetooth in their car. My Ford Focus may not be old, but for some unusual reason my car never had Bluetooth. To have my dealer install Ford's Bluetooth (Sync) was going to cost me over $500 to install. When I saw this Jabra on Amazon, I knew this was what I wanted. And I'm sold on it. So this is the cheaper alternative for hands free talking on your cell phone. This Bluetooth is built into the Jabra. Hope this is helpful.

You would be better off pluggin your earbuds to your phone instead of connecting your phone via bluetooth to the device and connecting in turn to earbud....the best use of the adater in car where you dont have bluetooth connectivity to car audio but have a aux input as the device works well within few feets

I found the bluetooth feature adequate....I actually have it programed to my work phone because I travel a bit. Hope this helps!

It could be better, but there is a extended microphone you can buy to make it better. You can use the Bluetooth to stream music from your phone so it still pretty cool. Had my radio two years now without any issues.

It's pretty good. I listen to podcasts streaming from my phone and the sound is audible on busy city buses. The range of the device is extremely limited, but that just means you have to keep your phone in a nearby pocket.

I do not have the bluetooth control on my FJ steering wheel but in order to get my volume / channel up and down to work I had to go into the set up menu in the stereo and select a unit number for my FJ to get it to work. Not sure if there is a unit number for bluetooth for hands free on the steering wheel ? also I have had complaints from people that I call on the stereo's blue tooth about it sounding distorted and that could be the portable mic for the unit.

External mic - it sits on my steering wheel column and connects to the head via a wire that I hid behind the dash. It is s good stereo but I have to turn it off before I turn off my car. Otherwise, sometime I need to reset/reboot it because it will not turn on. Likely this is a problem with my unit, not the stereo in general.

ok im a driver (part time) and sometimes i get lucky n have to drive two parties to the same place hence the need for two cars. We used old motorola two ways for a while untill they died out so i bought these, n frankly for what i need they work just fine, they do only work under half a mile with a full battery. I was 5 blocks ahead n i could hear the other driver just fine but once i hit a corner forget it. for what i use it for its fine but dont expect this to be the best source of communication out in the woods and your pretty far apart. Would recommend it for use under a half a mile radius in heavely populated areas. ok im a driver (part time) and sometimes i get lucky n have to drive two parties to the same place hence the need for two cars.

turn the car stereo down as much as possible... if you have it loud, it's obviously going to go back into the mic and create an echo for them... this goes for any bluetooth device being routed through a car stereo...

I have no problems it's one of the best Bluetooth I have had. Good quality, love the long range you can be on another level or a distance from phone and have quality reception, everyone hear me good and the don't hear a lot of background noise. I hope this help you.

Yes, When I am connected to my phone watching youtube or whatever with the bluetooth feature, I can still hear myself speak, and I can also use the microphone and headset in phone calls. If you dont want to hear yourself while watching a video or whatever, You can just mute the microphone and it goes away.

No. I use it to make and receive phone calls when driving. For that purpose it is excellent. The sound quality is good on both ends. There is plenty of volume on in coming calls.
