has anyone installed the bluetooth mic on a car with pillar airbags?

The external mic comes with a little sticky mount. I mounted mine on the top of the dashboard and routed the wire inside the dash to the back of the radio. Nice and neat installation, works great.

Hi, I found the installation very easy. Everything, (the answer/button unit and the microphone) just plug into the speaker unit each with its owns unique socket. The only "creative" portion of the install is that (of course) you have to get power to it. The unit requires a ground, an "always on" power source (not imperative but good to have as it powers certain nice features such as turning the car off and the unit stays on if you are on a call) and a third wire for power when the ignition is on. That's it.

YES, YOU NEED TO BUY THE BLUETOOT ADAPTER...Dual Bluetooth Hands-Free Module - Built-In Mic with Visor MountBUT IS HARD TO FIND!

No, it has a corded microphone that you have to mount somewhere in the cabin of the car. Probably the only drawback.

My honest opinion. Yes but no also. I would recommend finding someone who knows how to build boxes to acoustically match it to you car.

Not through the mic. You have to wire it to a separate switch (not included) or figure out how to wire it to your car's factory horn.

There are certain cars that this product won't work, in our case nisssan. If u want a bluetooth that streams music for your, check out the belkin aircast but u must connect it to your radio via aux

Yes, I did. It's very helpful for me when driving. It can't drop under not smooth road.I used it on iPhone 4S.

I use it in vehicle with the external antenna on the roof and it worked well with 2 to 3 additional bars. I have not found it necessary to use bluetooth yet. I have a speaker phone and hold the sleek in my hand with the phone in the sleek or set the sleek in a suction cup holder on the window of a house with a 1 bar normal signal and get 3 bars and 3g data.

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...

Yeah have a modmic attached to mine. It works well. I have it on the opposite side as the main cable. No these so not come with a mic plug.

We did not have good luck with our mics. We have Bell with pull down shields. The mics fell off; wouldn't stay attached. Horrible. We were riding one day and my mic was dangling in the wind. We don't use them anymore. Hope that helps.

I am not sure my wife put one in her new Toyota and it came with its own external mic it does work with Bluetooth be a phone. We used the Radio for about a week. Had it removed the old one put back because and she did not like the touch screen interface she wanted her knobs back. Good unit if you want a new one cheep I am about to put it on eBay

The bluetooth, when combined with an external mic (available from Cobra) allows you to use the CB as a hands free device for your phone, similar to the devices built into newer cars, I mounted the mic next to the drivers visor, It was a little clunky to get working and used too but it works OK. Great CB though

Yes, the mic comes with it and works very well. My wife said it sounded clearer when she was talking to me via the Alpine hands free than it did inmy Lexus. And the Alpine unit was put in an old 4Runner.

It seems the speaker cannot pick up your voice when it's above you head but picks up the voice when it's in the console. With a convertible it may pick up to much sound from the wind and would be hard to hear.

No. 4 holes that the speaker goes into the bracket and subsequently the car. But, the holes don't line up. Thus I used 2 holes on one and three on the other. It all seemed tight. But when you turn up the volume the brackets rattle. Thus you will need to drill new holes...more than likely.
