Hey guys. Is anyone using the external mic that came with the GA6166F or GA6166X? I have intentionally excluded the newest version of the head unit (GA6166) because Eonon has changed the hardware and the external mic plug is configured differently.

I have the external mic that came with the GA6166X which plugs into female mic port which is on the same plug as the two 3G USB connectors. I also have another external mic from the GROM kit but neither work. I can plug/unplug the external mics and nothing happens. I've also done that during a call and there is no popping noise or anything during the call. For each of the three configs (internal mic, external GA6166X mic, and external GROM mic) I have tapped on the mic during the call and the tapping is only heard from the internal mic regardless which one is plugged in and supposed to be in use. I've rebooted the unit and still nothing. Only the internal mic works and due to it being right next to the air vent on my X, there is alot of background noise and the mic clarity is subpar.

I REALLY need to use an external mic to get decent clarity and have just sent a message to Eonon about it. Just checking to see if anyone else is using the external that came with the GA6166F or GA6166X (these are the same regarding the external mic) to see if there were any issues. Thanks!
