I just installed the Sony xav 9500es in my 2021 Toyota Tacoma and the Sony mic is garbage. I decided to order the Enfig microphone and the sound quality on both ends is fantastic!!
So, on my cross country drive I was using the stock NEX mic, placed on my instrument cluster. I would frequently talk to my wife over the phone, and she would complain about the quality, regardless of what direction that it was pointed. After switching to the new mic, the quality was way better. Not to mention the stock integration into the OEM spot made the whole thing look nearly seamless, as opposed to a random microphone sticking out somewhere. Also, the stock mic won't work unless you use an adapter that only came out after my install. I feel like the stock mic was just more tinny sounding than the new one.
@@jessesmith3365 The mic I used is the enfig car stereo link in the description. The adapter is something I saw on tacomaworld but I don't have a link. You should be able to search for it there.

Yeah, I had non stop problems using the stock mic that came with this head unit. After switching it out, it was clearer than the Toyota mics.
Great video. Were you upgrading the mic because you find the NEX mic to not be good also?

@@Dzdspy thank you so much for replying!!! Do you know where I can buy the stock adapter?
Also, where to buy that mic?

What did you do with the old mic? Did you cut it?
No, I just shoved the wire and the mic back into the headliner. I figured that if I ever sell the truck that I would probably take all that stuff out.
