I don't think they're swappable in the 04+ face lifted models, but I think they are in the older ones...

I'll let you know. I just upgraded my mic to the newer version that improves noise cancellation and when I install it, I plan to swap the position to the sunroof switch. It should be very simple. I'll let you you later tonight.

Tell me about this "newer" mic that improves noise cancellation. I have not heard of it. Do you have the part number?

I posted it here.

Thanks bscarlett let me know how it goes. Has anyone switched the mic and sunroof switch on a pre-04 X5.

I have a 2002, I'll try it later

If the wiring is anything like my 03 M5 then the harness/wires aren't long enough. AFAIK.

I tried to move the sunroof switch closer to the drivers side but I couldn't get the harness to reach. Maybe I'll try it agaon but I'm pretty sure it's not long enough.

I also had the low mic volume problem when I installed my b/t module in my 01' X5. I got the new mic and moved it to the sunroof switch location.

The switch opening is slightly larger that the mic openinig, so I had to put a shim on the mic to get it to not rattle. The sunroof switch was a tight fit in the mic opening. It helped a little, but I still get people telling me that I sound "far away". I tried to get Advance Autovations to help solve the problem, but as you have probalby read, they are no help at all. If anyone else has any suggestions, I am all ears.

Ok, I just tried it, here's the deal. My X is an 11/01 MY2002 btw. The wires ARE indeed long enough, but that is not the issue here. The issue is that the slot/opening for the mic is ever so lightly smaller than the slot/opening for the sunroof switch. So when I popped the mic into the sunroof switch opening, it was loose, and could easily pop out. I suppose one could glue it in place or something like that, but not me.

Here is one other thing I noticed; via an above mentioned thread it mentioned the following 2 mic part #'s:

Old one: 84318380319
New one: 84316938762

Mine is a 84.31-8 380 338 (Neither one of those listed above)

We'll, now we know.
