HFL mic quality?
I heard some complains of people calling me, and they said they don't hear me all that well when I answer with the HFL. They say that it sounds like i'm standing 15 feet away from the mic.
I see from the manual that the microphone is by the center rear view mirror, there isn't some 'easy' way to get that closer to the driver's mouth isn't there...
Thanks

Seriously, when on HFL, close the windows, turn down the fan, speak directly at the rearview mirror....you know the drill.

Ya, I always end up yelling at the rearview mirror when on HFL... That probably looks more Schizophrenic then people who talk on the small blutooth headsets.

Have someone call you from the TL and see how they sound to determine if the HFL mic is bad.
G/L.

One thing I find particularly intrusive, is the tire noise on the highway.
If the car is sitting still, then ya, the mic works decently. I have a 2008 TL-S 6mt.

I don't know if this helps but you can read it and see:

Seems Acura is aware of the problem and redesigned the mic.

Keep Right Except to Pass
Bear in mind that you ARE in effect talking on a speakerphone, so it's not going to sound like talking on a normal landline. There's always going to be a bit of that distant effect.
