2023 PIU Microphone replacement

[Keith10247]

Good evening! I have a 2023 PIU, with the stock head-unit, and the microphone sucks! Any way to replace this microphone with a better quality? I don't know if it is because of the lightbar on the unit and the wind drag, but everyone says they cannot hear me clearly and that there is a lot of background noise. Funny enough, they complain that my mobile radio (which has speakers built-in to the center console) is too loud, but I am not loud enough; even with my head 12" away from the microphone.

Hi Keith. Have you tried using the microphone when the vehicle is stationary to see what kind of reports you get?

It's definitely the lightbar noise. I'm in a lucky position that I get to decide when my lightbar is on or off, and I get no complaints when the lightbar is off.
