Everyone should be there by 8 am......Tech inspection between 8 - 8:30....then driver's meeting at 9 - 9:15 .... then Racing Starts Biotches !

You are correct. There is a mic in the cabin. I'm not sure if you can just physically disable it without issues, but I don't see why not. I've heard of others just taping the mic up, too.

350Zs with BOSE systems (not certain about non-BOSE) come with an active noise compensation feature called "Audio Pilot" with the headunit. You can turn this off by pressing the AUDIO button, choose AUDIOP, then select OFF. I heard that if you had the Audio Pilot on when changing to an aftermarket, it stays on (so you had to turn it off before changing to non-OEM).

As far as I know, the mic is under the dash around the steering wheel. It's been years since I ran across this topic on the forums, but I think I remember the mic being under this thing (see attached).

 

i appreciate that, its only noticable when in 1st and 2nd gears, but whoever had the car before me took out the bose head unit and replaced all the speakers, assuming he had a full stereo in it because all the wires on the factory amp have butt connectors

 

interesting about the mic - i'll have to check it out - thanks - and i do have the option to turn off the feature on my BOSE head unit - if anyone has a sledge hammer i'd like to bust mine into a million peices because the CD player is worthless for me other than that and on the plus side, it has a tape player wa wa waaaaaa

 

if you ever replace your radio, make sure you keep the ears off the factory one..... if you want to do a double din radio you will need them, and they are $45 each from the stealership

 

oh such good news - here is a photo of me running a red light and paying 75 bucks to do so YAY more pics of my car!

 

Weird. I went thru the audio stuff earlier and I don't think I saw this. 2003 Touring with BOSE.

 

Once again Mike, your pics are always awesome!

 

that wing has to be a cop magnet

 

I just went through mine again and i don't have it either - i had it on the first stereo that was in here though so maybe it was a 2006 and higher option

 

Mike, get the escort that has the gps and red light camera detection..... looks like you need it. my buddy has it (about $500) but if it detects the same false frequency at the same location it will actually block it from going off again....
