Nosupersuit 2 Report post Posted December 6, 2023 Installed a pioneer sph230dab according to a similar guide on here on installing a pioneer. Great increase in audio fidelity however I've managed to bork it and the microphone doesn't work now. I say 'ok google' and the assistant comes up (usb android auto) but It doesn't register speech input. Not sure which connector runs the mic or which adapter id need to plug in as there weren't any spots left on the HU to plug in spare cables. Anyone faced something similar?

Nosupersuit 2 Report post Posted December 13, 2023 No, looks like I didn't do enough research as found after the fact there's issues with OEM mic and aftermarket HUs. Looks like I need to open it back up and connect the mic that comes with the HU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAS 25 Report post Posted December 13, 2023 Yep, the stock mic is powered via the loom, but the pioneer mic is plugged into the head unit with a 3.5mm jack or similar.If I remember correctly, I’ve tucked the old mic under the steering wheel cowl somewhere and routed the new mic and clip in its place. Pretty easy to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
