Anybody remove the overhead console?
I need to get in there to swap out the microphone which I'm upgrading. The instructions illustration on bimmernav.com looks a little different from what's in my vehicle (see poor quality cellphone pic below). Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

There's an article here in the bluetooth section that gives you good directions to replace your mic, it's from Ucrew of El Jeffe I believe.

Why are you changing the mic? When I talk to people using my BT they say I sound 'far away'. I haven't been able to correct this yet and was thinking that maybe you are doing this for the same reason. If so, I'd love to know the results.

Yeah I'm getting the same thing so I'm hoping the upgraded mic will resolve this issue. I'll keep you posted.

I have been told by Benton that upgrading the mic will not help much.
Have you checked if you have the correct connection to your Bluetooth antenna?

From BimmerNav.com website:
have heard from some customers that they had TWO Cream colored antenna wires. Make sure that you choose the Cream/Purple as shown in the below image.
