Note to benathon, in neither test did I sound "far away".
Good to talk to you again, thanks for helping me out again today.

I paid 96 CDN with a 15% discount, but CDN prices are almost double the prices of US.

One way to ensure you have the latest mic is to look at the color of the back. If its green it is the latest. I will also say that MANY MANY people have the older mics and find that they work fine. Ive tried a couple versions and the difference in gain isn't all that much. The list price is about 60-70USD and if you buy an OEM retrofit kit you should get one of these - if you don't you are being short changed. Now, you can choose to keep your own mic if its from say 2000 and newer and you will probably be happy (most folks anyway), but the older vehicles really should have the mic replaced.

Well the two mics I have 84316938762 is the latest model and is black on the back, the one that I removed is 84318380319 and is green on the back so I would not say that the back being green is definative.
