Better than built in mic

Comment:
Used this mic on a Garmin 885T and it works way better than the built in mic. People say I still sound a little distant but they can hear me. Before I got it they said it sounded like I was in a cave!

Garmin External Microphone - Waste of Money

Comment:
I recently bought a Garmin Nuvi 765T. My previous GPS was a Garmin Nuvi 750, which didn't have the Bluetooth option. The main consideration for buying the new GPS was for Bluetooth..... Do yourself a huge favor and save some money in the bargain.... Bluetooth in the Garmin 765T is NON-FUNCTIONAL, in every profound way. I was unable to carry on cellphone conversations and got bad reports from everyone I tried to talk to. They said the audio was distorted and I was "in and out". Sooooooooo, I bought the Garmin external microphone, hoping to solve the problem.... It too proved to be a waste of money and is of no benefit, whatever. The Garmin 765T is not the quality unit my Garmin 750 was. I made two costly mistakes. My mistakes don't have to be your mistakes.... You can learn from my experience and I hope I've saved you some money..............

Comment:
I ordered this thinking it would fit a garmin 765t which it should. I recieved the product and it did not fit the garmin unit. I e-mailed the Car Toys about this issue on on 3/29 asking for assistance but have yet to here from them. I guess I'm just going to have to eat the cost for a product that does not work.

Clears out the background noise

Comment:
I tested this mic out after installing it in my car with a nuvi 765t. My nuvi is on the left side of the steering wheel on the windshield. I ran the wire along the windshield, tucked behind the plastic panels and the ceiling to the sun visor and clipped it on the visor.
I tried several calls with and without the mic attached. What I noticed about the mic is:
1. The background noise is virtually eliminated - this is HUGE as it makes my voice a LOT clearer
2. The voice is only slightly louder with the mic than without the mic but much clearer (see 1 above)
3. It picked up my voice pretty well whether I was facing forward (best), looking right, looking left, or looking backwards (to check my blind spot). The voice was clearest when looking straight ahead or looking left. A little attenuated looking right and a little more looking back. But in all cases it was very clear
4. I tried to speak louder and softer. To my surprise, even my softer voice came through very clearly with the mic as did my loud voice.
Well, its a $5 mic review what else can I say about it :)

Comment:
I could not see the difference when using the microphone and when not.
I have tried multiple locations on my car and the results were always the same. Maybe a noise cancelling mic will make a difference (just wondering...)
