Hands free phone unit FINALLY installed.
So, I had issues last September while trying to install my handsfree kit into the Bose headunit. I got it to work for a second, and then it would go off of mute and back to the radio. Oddly enough, the people I called could hear me, but the radio wouldn't mute to let me hear them.
Anyway, I was too lazy to mess with it, though I did have some good advice about a ground not being constant (see the previous thread linked below.) My buddy and I rigged up a switch above where the phone integrates into the handsfree unit to be a ground. When the switch is off, everything is normal. When the switch is on, it throws the system into mute. Wala!! I have the handsfree working in the car. I think I called everyone that I know with it yesterday. The microphone is so sensitive that it picks up too much roadnoise, so I have to roll the windows up, but it's a small price to pay to be able to talk and drive without having to run a wire across my body and fighting with it when I get out of the car, etc.
(Oh, and no pictures - it's not a pretty install, just functional. If you want pictures or have questions, shoot me an e-mail.)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/audio/msgs/47841.phtml">previous post</a></li></ul>
