Just picked up my 09 gen2 and I am having problems with the microphone. When on hands free calls I can hear the caller but they can't hear me and when ever I try to use voice commands I just get a response of command not recognised. Is there some kind of mute enabled on the microphone am I missing something obvious or is it faulty?
See posts #13 & 16 here... http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-.../33443-low-bluetooth-microphone-volume-2.html
Thanks for that. I got into the menus and made the change but hands free is still silent and voice recognition is still not recognising. I will post some pictures
I have taken a couple of pictures. This menu the audio says CHECK Pic 1 And this one I tried shouting at the car and recording a sample but again silent. pic 2 it's dead
Possibly a bad mike or a loose wire. Where did you get the car, from a private sale or from a dealer? If it was a private sale, ask the previous owner if he had a problem or if he removed some accessory that he may have had on the car. If it was purchased from a dealer, take is back as they usually offer some sort of a warranty.
Well the dealer was fairly useless. They came back with: Ignoring the lack of punctuation for a moment they did not come back with anything I didn't already know.
So run over to the parts dept and buy a mic! Or find a friend with a Prius and talk them into letting you swap the mics to test yours! Either way you are gonna have to get your hands on a working mic to test the theory!
Just a final update to say the dealer fixed it. Replacement microphone and labour £220(about $350). Fortunately it was covered under my warranty.
