Hi, where&acute;s the microphone? does it hear properly your voice while driving?

The microphone is attached to the back of the stereo via a long cable - about 6' or so if I remember correctly. You'll need to route the mic to a good spot and mount it there. I put mine on the windshield support where the plastic meets the cloth headliner. I was able to hide the cable in the door seal and then run it along the underside of the console over the pedals to the back of the stereo. That makes it sound like a lot more work than it actually was. I'll try to post some pictures later if I have time. I haven't had any problems with voice quality. I used a Belkin Bluetooth adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CLYJ2I/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for about a year prior to this and my wife constantly complained about the voice quality when I called her using it. She hasn't had a single complaint about the call quality with the JVC unit yet.

The unit I bought came with an external mic. You just have to install it thru your interior wiring and mount it on your steering column.

Yes. Just remember that the more exposure the mic has to wind, it will be harder to listen to you while driving. Position of the mic would be crucial in this situation.

Not than I'm aware of but for some reason I have complaints about MIC clarity on voice calls case on or off... Maybe it's the carrier.. Odd because recording quality is near Hi Def sound

This has it's own microphone (doesn't use your car for a mic). I actually run the device separately (I don't run it over the car speaker) as it has its own loud speaker & mic.

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.

You can hear your voice if you have the option to play your mic through your headset on in your sound options. It's the listen tab with a check box to "listen to this device".

It has a microphone, but the microphone is not built in. The microphone has a foot with an adhesive pad which is used to attach it to the dash (generally on top of the steering shaft cover, just behind the steering wheel). The microphone cable needs to be routed behind the dashboard and plugged into the back of the receiver.

I have heard from those I talk with on skype that the mic is buzzing a lot, and picks up background noises. It could be that my sound card isn't good enough to handle it, or that some of my settings are wrong (though I have tried to fix it for a while without luck).

No, my mic works fine... Sorry to hear about your mic. As for the radio, I think you will really enjoy it.

No it humms at times , i upgraded to a xlr mic which is better I suggest that over a USB well not this one, it was good to start off

No it doesn't have a mic beside like I stated before it is not of a good quality at all as it doesn't get the calls through on the speaker of your car like it's described. I would not recommend

There is an external microphone that comes with it that plugs in the back and has a 4 or 5ft cable. Not bad quality either if it's close to the driver's face

It comes with a wired external mic. Mic placement is key. I've found the best place is on the instrument cluster as it's away from road noise and the recessed cluster catches your voice. You'll have to adjust mic gain for the best sound quality.

The mic is a separate device that needs to be plugged into the unit. I placed my above the steering wheel for easy installation.

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.
