Microphone pre-wire?
 

Does my 2000 X5 4.4i have a microphone built-in to the center ceiling console (the plastic thing with the homelink & moonroof controls)? There is a little vent looking thing that looks like it could be one. Also this post makes me think that it has one.

I want to try and connect it to the MIC port on my Scosche BlueLife receiver for hands-free cellphone operation if possible. Has anyone accomplished this? I would rather use the factory built-in MIC if it exists then running the included microphone.

THANKS GUYS!

OK also saw this post in the DIY section and this post that it links to. Where does this MIC output terminate at? Will I have a crappy MIC in there?

also to my knowledge my vehicle did not come with the wireless cell phone option (CPT7000 module)? How do I check this - I would imagine the MIC prewire may still exist tho? Where does this terminate in the center console or in the rear of the vehicle somewhere!!?

ANYONE?

I wish you were getting an answer because I'd like to do the same thing. I want to put in a Pioneer AppRadio 4 and use the built-in mic. I know I have one because the voice activated features work, but I can't figure out how to use my iPhone with it.

You can't reuse the mic. Has to do with it being active vs passive. There was a long thread on e46 about this. I ran a aftermarket mic to the oem spot (on the e46 you can get a blank plate with just a grille) and it worked great.
