VW Mic - Fiscon Kit?

[VWKev]

Thanks for trying mate, I appreciate it. When you say 'other mic' what other mic's do fiscon have ?

Are you now going to fit it along the door a-frame ?

Fiscon (Kufatec) in Germany do a Mic thats specifically designed to go in the OEM location.  The trouble is it costs 24 Euros, and 14 Euros shipping.  A tad steep to find out that its maybe no better than the original!!

I'm iin 2 minds whether to order one anyway... or whether to just move it to the A-frame 

Fancy halfing in and sharing the postage ? I wouldnt mind as long as we know it will work in the overhead location.

Ess-Three said the same... share the postage.
The only problem is that when I emailed Kufatec, they told me it was technically the same Mic.  I can't see how putting the same Mic in a plastic casing is going to make it better quality?

Look at it this way: If you don't have one more try with the hidden microphone you will always wonder about it and everytime you look at the microphone hanging from your 'A'pillar you will feel a bit peeved off for not having tried.

You have spent so much on a fabulous car, so a few quid more should not be an issue.
Anyway, you can always sell one of them on e-Bay!

I am furious about the damage to my rear bumper and am going to have a horrible weekend.

I know you guys are against having it on the A frame but it really is crystal clear and to be honest, after a week or so you totally forget it is there.

If they are saying its technically the same mic then its probably not going to work ??

I myself cannot see how a similiar passive microphone which is 'specifically designed for the light housing' will work any differently especially if it on the wrong side (?). Maybe KUFATEC know something we are not aware of. Who knows, unless you try it yourself or get FISCON UK to try it and then order one.
In the meantime, you will have to have it installed on the 'A' pillar for it to work.
Why or why cannot things be simple.

Or SHOUT!!!!
I asked Fiscon UK - they said they will maybe get them in after they see how they get on in Europe!

p3eps,
Shouldn't you change your Sig now?
Unless you have a second silver R on order, just incase one gets dirty with all this volcanic ash on the go?

Good point!

Will get right on it!  I may even have to get a real life picture rather than my pics from the configurator!!

Chop chop!
Sort the sig...then get the Sat Nav sorted out. This is important...
