Navigation/Telecommunication (Service Information): Microphone: Description: Description

Vehicles equipped with the optional hands-free system have two stereo microphones mounted in the top surface of the inside rear view mirror housing, one to each side of center. The two microphones are individually powered by and provide hard wired inputs to the Radio Receiver Module (RRM) (also known as the radio or the head unit) in the instrument panel whenever the Voice Recognition (VR) feature of the hands-free system is active. These two microphones are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a connector receptacle integral to the forward-facing surface of the inside rear view mirror housing by a dedicated take out and connector of the overhead wire harness.

The microphones cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or ineffective, they must be replaced as a unit with the inside rear view mirror assembly.
