Where is the Mercedes Microphone Located?

Mercedes microphone is located inside the interior rearview mirror. Isolating microphone noise: Directly bypass or disconnect this equipment or circuit, then check if any noise appears. Eliminating microphone noise: Noise from the in-car environment is mainly addressed through the placement position or connection method of the equipment. The types of noise affected by the in-car environment mainly include stray noise intrusion, electromagnetic interference, and other noises caused by the in-car environment. Acoustic issues primarily involve phase, scattering, diffraction, and load problems. Electronic issues mainly deal with filtering, power lines, AC signals, grounding, and other automotive electrical influences on the audio system. A simple portable radio is a good tool for handling noise radiation interference problems.
The microphone in Mercedes-Benz vehicles is typically installed in the center of the interior roof, near the rearview mirror or reading light area, which effectively captures the driver's voice for handling calls or voice commands like navigation and music control. In my work, I've encountered owners complaining about unclear calls, often due to dust accumulation blocking sound pickup; it's recommended to gently clean the microphone port or wipe it with a soft cloth every quarter. Mercedes-Benz maintains a consistent design across all models, from the C-Class to the new EQS, with microphones integrated into the overhead module—avoid disassembling it carelessly to prevent wire damage. Connection issues may trigger system warnings; it's best to check the dashboard settings or update the firmware via the app after starting the vehicle to reduce false triggers. The location is designed with driving safety in mind, positioned closer to the windshield to minimize background noise interference and avoid distractions from handling phones while driving.
