Where is the hands-free microphone? (MK3)

I’m putting in an aftermarket head-unit which comes with a microphone & lead for when making phone-calls. Rather than wiring this in, is there a microphone already in the car that can be used? There must be one somewhere as I used to be able to make hands-free calls with the old standard head-unit.


….Or was the microphone in the head-unit itself??


Thanks.

 

Thanks guys!


So this must’ve plugged into the standard head unit somehow and therefore hopefully somehow I could plug it into my new head-unit.


There is a dedicated mini-jack socket in the back of the new head-unit for the supplied new microphone so I would need the old microphone to have a corresponding mini-jack plug.


All the plugs out of the old head-unit are accounted for though – apart from the two blocks in the photo below, which I think must be for the aux inputs (down below the key-card slot) and to the display. Therefore I definitely don’t have a mini-jack from the old microphone….


Do you happen to know how the old microphone was connected in to the old head-unit?

 

Yep, I’ve slowly figured that out! The new head-unit comes with the new microphone therefore I will just clip it to something semi-out of sight - was just hoping to re-use the standard one.


Next job is to mount and wire in the DAB aerial, do you happen to know please if the A-pillar trims are easy to remove, do they just pull off?

 

????

 

Ah, you assumed I was going to mount the microphone on the mirror..... I had never mentioned this, hence being hard to understand, but never mind, will probably find somewhere more local for it out of sight.

The A-pillar trim needs to come off though for a DAB radio aerial.
