[QUOTE="AmIdYfReAk, post: 8677843, member: 677343"] Hello all! I'm driving a 2004 Passat with a Kenwood KDC-BT855U, the stock microphone was always a little quiet and sounded like you where in a tunnel. So this install I decided to use an OEM microphone from a 2007 ish Mercedes. It's installed in the stock location from the Passat, wired with 18ga copper wires to a mono 3.5mm plug to the HU At first the microphone worked but everything was blown out and was clipping like crazy, so adjusted the gain to -16 and it sounded great when the car was parked with a slight reverb picked up through the mic. But when I'm driving, there is so much noise picked up that no one can hear me at all! The car is quiet inside the car, I basically have to yell directly to the mic to get something picked up! I'm thinking of swapping the wire with a shielded wire and seeing if that helps, do you guys have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
