    Dice Media Mic issues

    So as I assumed might happen I am having issues with reception of the mic for my media bridge.

    Currently I have it mounted in the stock location which is great cosmetically but functionality is not very good.

    One idea I had was to wire an OEM Mic up to the dice wiring. Any one who is experienced in electronics see a problem with this?

    Given I will get an OEM plug or just cut the one out that is already in my headliner.

    Thanks

    I too would be interesting in this. I was thinking of upgrading my DICE Silverline Duo to the Media bridge and I have an OEM mic. I wanted to entertain the same exact idea! I would get an OEM plug to splice into the DICE wiring. That way your OEM mic will still have a connector. :D

    Yep I do planning on the OEM plug. I'm gonna talk to my Indy to see if he has an OEM mic lying around so I can at least test proof of concept.

    Btw so far I totally recommend the media bridge if you do choose to upgrade.

    Interested in upgrading mine as well, and using the OEM mic. Let us know what you find out. With my old one, you could choose to control it via the ipod or the car stereo, does this have that feature?

    Yep I can control it from both. even the steering wheel.

    Just found an OEM mic on eBay that comes with the plug and some of the wiring from the vehicles side of things so it should be an easy install.

    Will report back.

    What kind of plug does the BMW mic have? I have the parrot kit, and am having trouble with my mic reception in the stock location. It has a 1/8" mini jack.

    Thanks

    Ok, just got my OEM Mic in the mail.

    It has a bit of the oem wiring as well as the oem plug.

    Now comes the part where I need assistance from some people with wiring experience. I have no problem doing the actual wiring but what I want to figure out is what each wire is before I start cutting things up.

    Currently the mic has 2 black and 1 yellow wire coming out of it.

    I will consult the good book of Bentley and report back.

    Ok, here is the diagram that I found in the Bentley but it looks like it only shows 2 wires going into the mic not 3.
