Yikes, i thought his documentation was pretty thorough...

Hello everybody......

i am about to buy a new microphone for my car pc and phonectrl, what is the best choise ? i have searched around the forum and read a lot... and i can se that the Boss himself (Zorro) uses a microsoft USB desktop model, that one i can get here i denmark, manufactered by Logitech...

but then there is the isue about echoe, the caller can here him self...

I have the BT120 D-link dongle, and it can use / recognize more than one Bluetooth device at the same time, so what wouldt be the best thing to use ??

is it a Bluetooth handsfree...( the small one you put on your ear, with mic)

or is it the logitech desktop USB mic. ??

BTW i use a ericsson T610 phone...

Thank you for any help / advice...

A headset would be the best to use for voice quality. Under absoluty no circumstances would i recommend you use a regular microphone, it will sound relatively terrible. If you don't want to use a headset your second best choice is an array microphone. Check out the products by Andrea Electronics http://www.andreaelectronics.com/ They make a USB array microphone, but you will probably get much better response from the one made specifically for in car use:

Is it possible to hack a nokia carkit mic for the car pc? Had anyone thought about it or tried?

Okay thanks...

i just thought that all of you that uses this phone software were using a desktop USB mic.... like Zorro does...... it works okay for him...????

what do you use ?

USB headset or ????

and if i use a headset, the sound dosent come out through the car speakers, does it ? and if i use a Bluetooth headset then there really isent any idea in using the software at all.... it will connect directly to the phone anyway right ?

I'm currently using the USB array microphone from andrea electronics and it sounds quite clear, it doesn't do so well with the windows open, but still much better then a non-array microphone. I will probably be upgrading to the automotive one though soon, mainly cause I use this for voice recogntion and the automotive one is supposedly superior for this application. The problem I have with regular USB microphones is that they will sound like a bad speaker phone when using them at a distance.

I have a T720 and use the USB cable with no problems, using the COM port

Me too, though it's sick how much they charged me for that "data connectivity kit" aka "cable and driver". Beware though: one day I needed to reinstall the driver and was too lazy to look for the CD, so I downloaded one that looked the same off the net...the phone never worked correctly on that windows install again.

The USB cable I have doesn't charge the phone off of USB, it has a little slot in the base of the plug for the normal phone power cable to plug into. Not sure if yours is like that.

So assuming i purchase 2 Motorolla V600's

An both my wife and i both use the car.

Can i creat a relationship with both phone?

Then when i drive it it works and see my phone with no manual intervention?

Likewise when my wife jumps in the car will it see hers and function with no manual intervention?

Finally what happens if we are both in the car at the same time, will it see both phones and notify on an incoming phone call on either phone?

thanks
