Hands-free microphone

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2016 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2014 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2013 MINI Cooper, and 2012 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Depending on the series and vehicle equipment, there may be one microphone installed in the roofliner. The microphone installation location can vary depending on the vehicle type. The microphone on the driver's side is always used for an emergency call.

The microphone operates with full duplex transmission. This means that the audio frequency signals are activated for both parties. It is thereby possible to speak and listen during the same call.

The microphone is connected to the TCB control unit basic version via a three-pin plug connection. The line is shielded.
