Bluetooth Mic
Hey guys, does the bluetooth phone audio use the same mic as the on star (on the driver's pillar by the visor)? My wife can barely hear me in my 09 vert (with the top up) when I am going highway speeds, and I am thinking if it uses the same mic then I will do Kawal's mic swap for an '11 and up microphone since it uses a better, directionally pointed unit.
Thoughts?

My friend's BMW is much better, in the same situations.
I have a Samsung Focus windows 7 phone that also does bluetooth voice texts, and the "car" also has trouble with voice recognition. when just using the phone, it works much better.

I replaced the original A pillar mic on our 2009 with the upgraded directional version that came out a couple of years later.
Both microphones gave fair performance for the bluetooth, but awful for the Nav voice commands.
