BMW microphones are directional and will not properly pick up audio unless oriented the right way. The arrow on the back of the microphone must face towards the front of the car.

The upgraded mic was implemented in late 2004. So you might have either the old one or the new one. The new one has noise canceling functionality.

Old mic: 84-31-8-380-319
New mic: 84-31-6-938-762 MSRP $30.85

Did you ring the indy shop and give them a row of F's or are they the only ones you can go to?

Guess I'm lacking in common sense, 'cause the mic looks like it gets installed 'arrow up'. Damn, I was feeling really common and sensible today.

Well done Meister, picture paints a thousand words.

Hi Matt,
You might have got better responses to your issue by starting your own thread. But anyhow have a look at the following which I posted after I had exhausted all avenues in getting 2 Nokia phones to pair with my X.
