RNS 315 - help with mic!

[h3srr]

Hi

I have just fitted the above to my 2012 Fabia Monte. My question is, will my car hav a mic already fitted? If not, what pins do I need to wire my pic to?

I know that EddieNL has a number of mins to sell, the other option is to get, and fit one of these.

Many thanks

Steve

check for the mic in the overhead light cluster

 

 

connecting it to rns315 is easy, just two wires and you get qreen quadlock connector with mic

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I did "try" to remove the overhead light unit, but it did a good job of defeating me! Not wishing to try to hard, to avoid breaking it! Looks like I need to try a bit harder.

Again thanks. As I already have a mic with an external/add on Bluetooth kit, I am hoping that maybe I can use that if needed.

It may have screws holding it in, try these instructions as I think a 2012 is a MKII: http://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/fabia-mk2/vehicle_electrics/electrical_system/lights_lamps_switches_inside_anti-theft_system/interior_lights_and_warning_light_for_front_passenger_airbag_deactivation/removing_and_installing_the_interior_light_in_the_roof_cover/

 

When you say an external bluetooth kit, do you mean an OEM module or something like a parrot?

 

Are you fitting a RNS315 with built in bluetooth? What did you have before you started, just trying to figure out what wiring you're likely to have.

Hi - great a local guy!!

As you are "local", I purchased my Monte from ALS at Little Downham, great place!!

When I bought it, it had a Swing and a parrot Bluetooth kit. Which worked fine, but it's not the easiest thing to use while driving. I then went to a Bolero, and worked fine but not the best fit.

I have since got a RNS315 Amunden+, which fits and works great, but I have yet to try the Bluetooth. The Parrot is still connected, but as I have said has my Monte already got a mic fitted, if not do I go down the original route or wire in the external mic from the parrot?

It's just one of the things I am playing with, along with my all the bits for my vRS!

Never made it up to ALS, mine came from Vindis in Cambridge. Hoping to keep the Octavia for a while but I'll definitely wonder up when I'm next in the market.

 

Just a quick silly question to avoid getting caught out, I assume you checked the RNS315 for a MAC address that isn't all zeros? Just want to make sure it has BT fitted before going any further

 

In theory, you can reuse the Parrot microphone, but you would need to cut it's original connector off and crimp a new one that's compatible with the RNS315. It might also suffer from sound quality issues as I would expect all OEM microphones probably meet a very similar specification which the Parrot may not.

Part numbers:
3B7035447B - connector
000979009 - repair wire with correct crimp attached
N90764701 - just the crimp without the repair wire

 

I wouldn't expect the quadlock to have anything in top left section (from dukedl's post) so it should just clip in place. There might be a SOT lead from the Parrot to confuse matters...

 

Personally, I would grab the kit as it rules out any issues with the Parrot microphone and leave you with a completely hidden install - I assume the current microphone is on show? It should also let you remove the Parrot and sell it

Look in the forsale section for the mic from Eddie NL and pictures are in my blackline mic how to.

Hi Welsh Kia boy

Yes I know, but Eddie seems to be a difficult guy to contact! I have a post on his thread already. I know he is a great and knowable guy, As he has done some work on my Monte already.

And I DO need to get back to see him soon

Or order the MIC from the same place I did (link in my how to).
