No external mic homie..>Have you considered just turning your bluetooth off and using the phone in thus manner.>
Yes of course, except that I have to fish around for and find and plug in the cord, and turn it to AUX every time someone calls while its ringing, or if I call out. Not so great driving in traffic.
I guess I could just hang the phone all the time on the cord connected to the radio, but then I have this cord there in the way, and am forever plugging in and unplugging every time I get in and out.
I found this radio:

Appears to have everything I'm looking for, and I've craned my eyes over the pics, appears also to have a back wire for an external plug in mic routed through your dash (not a premounted mic in a hole in the front, which I've been told is the reason for the suckiness).
The only drawback here are some blistering reviews on Amazon. Strangely, the reviews on the Boss page don't seem as bad. But its somehow hard to gauge these things, I've seen before where Amazon gets an unfair pileup of one stars because people all seem to jump in once the kicking frenzy starts, lol.
Lol you really are not gonna get an external mic unless you go for a bit more expensive headunit.
These cheaper ones are made just to give people features that stock headunits don't offer on a base model.
I myself currently have a cheapo 25$ headunit from Walmart (xo vision?)..
I just went to the Bluetooth settings on my phone and only let the headunit use media connection and not phone connection so when I receive calls, I use my phone to my ear to call lmao.
These internal mics ****.
The last radio I owned which was a Clarion cz702 which is a godly headunit on these forums due to it's feature had a horrible mic that I had to adjust the gain on the mic gain so people could hear me.
