Does it require an exterior microphone that attaches by your visor like my old unit for the hands free or is it built in somewhere on the unit.

I have had units with internal microphones and they are not very good when speaking to someone, you sound like you are in a tunnel or to much road noise. An external mic is the only way to go and the wires can be hidden very easily

External mic - it sits on my steering wheel column and connects to the head via a wire that I hid behind the dash. It is s good stereo but I have to turn it off before I turn off my car. Otherwise, sometime I need to reset/reboot it because it will not turn on. Likely this is a problem with my unit, not the stereo in general.

It plugs into the rear of the unit, then you have to string around to the visor. I decided not to install it. Too messy. I hate wires.

The unit I bought came with an external mic. You just have to install it thru your interior wiring and mount it on your steering column.

It requires a mic that comes with the kit. I installed it myself on Dodge Caravan fed it thru dash board and attached it at end of steering wheel. I use an iPhone 4 and have had good results.

Rueben,It comes with an external mike. The cord is pretty long, don't recall exactly but more than 6 ft.

There is an external microphone that has a clip. This comes in the package. So it was run (wires from the back of the deck to the microphone) and mounted on my sun visor...which is close to my face but does not obstruct the view. I honestly love this set!

totally hands free. It comes with a strapand I usually sling it like a purse across my neck and shoulder so it hangs down by my hip and I don't risk feedback. The mic hangs down from a little metal thing that rests on your ears. Are you going to plug the music source into the speaker? cause you can do that too. It has a little jack for pluggin in an ipod or mp3.

Mine came with a little microphone that connects through the back of the head unit through an auxiliary jack

It attaches to the helmet with an adhesive on non-mic end... The Sena is a awesome unit and I really like the fact it now is compatible with other brands of BT units out there.

The units come with a ear piece that you can talk into or use the radio stand alone. You can also order a optional hand held mic

I don't like to use it when is hooked up to the radio. The person on the other line will hear you far or not hear you at all. It will depend on how far is your cell phone for you to speak into it. I would purchase one that has an external microphone that you can install to your visor that you can speak into. Works well to listen, charge, cell/I-pod and great to use with navigation GPS. Good luck

There is a microphone included in the package. It has a fairly long cord (7 ft?) and plugs into the unit. You have two ways of mounting the mic, a visor clip or an adhesive mounting plate. I chose to use the adhesive mounting plate which is just a plastic plate with an offset ball for the socket on the mic to fit on and mounted it right above the rear view mirror. I don't think the unit is configurable to use the in car mic, but not certain since I did not go that route.

The microphone is "hands-free", but does need to be plugged in to the unit. You wear the unit as a belt with the microphone.

The microphone is attached to the back of the stereo via a long cable - about 6' or so if I remember correctly. You'll need to route the mic to a good spot and mount it there. I put mine on the windshield support where the plastic meets the cloth headliner. I was able to hide the cable in the door seal and then run it along the underside of the console over the pedals to the back of the stereo. That makes it sound like a lot more work than it actually was. I'll try to post some pictures later if I have time. I haven't had any problems with voice quality. I used a Belkin Bluetooth adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CLYJ2I/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for about a year prior to this and my wife constantly complained about the voice quality when I called her using it. She hasn't had a single complaint about the call quality with the JVC unit yet.

It comes with a mic that is connected to the unit, and routed where ever you want in the vehicle. It also worked without connecting the mic and using my phone for the mic while it played the sound through speakers.

I'm not understanding "hands free," but it plus into a radio on your waist, the ear piece clips onto your ear, and to talk you have to press a button on the microphone that can be clipped anywhere on your shirt.

Microphone comes with unit. Mounts with double-sided tape, wherever you want.

Yes, I believe that it does have a built in Mic, but I can't see where it is on the unit. It made no difference weather I talked into the paired phone or had it in my pocket after answering the call via the radio.

There is an external microphone that comes with it that plugs in the back and has a 4 or 5ft cable. Not bad quality either if it's close to the driver's face

The microphone is built in. The cord connected goes in the microphone slot.

The microphone is built into the radio faceplate. I am surprised at how well it works and I have had people tell me how clear I sound when they are talking to me.
