Afternoon,
I've just installed the Unique audio interface so now have the ever so modern carplay in my 2016 ftype.
I have the HK version so it is in the cubbyhole behind the seats.
I've put the mic for handsfree on the drivers windscreen pillar but I'm not sure the sound is very loud from it.
Anyone got any tips on best placement for it?
Also how do I think get the cable neatly from the mic to the cubbyhole? It is currently just tucked under the trim at the top of the door then behind the seat into the cubbyhole. not elegant. Ideally I'd like to take the panel off behind the seat and run it there, is that possible ?
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks
David

That’s where my mic is, no issues holding conversations unless the roof is down of course!

That's good to know, thanks. Where did you run the cable?Tom Sawyer wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 8:18 pm That’s where my mic is, no issues holding conversations unless the roof is down of course!

It was done when I bought the car, but I’ll have a look tomorrow and let you know

Did you get bluetooth working so you can use the steering wheel buttons?
