If you have an Android-based headunit on your #Mercedes #C200 #W203, chances are that the audio quality from the built-in microphone is poor. Follow the procedure in this video to install an external microphone which hooks up with the headunit so people can actually hear you speak when you have phone conversations through the headunit.
This video covers a lot of topics so feel free to use the chapter selections below to skip to the part you like to watch.

🛠 TOOLS OF THE TRADE:
⭐️ SmallRig Professional Phone Video Rig Kit (ebay.us/fpnulQ)
This is a step up from my old set which was made of poor quality plastic and it kinda needs replacing. This kit is more stable and has loads of attachments. I find the power bank holder very useful especially during those extended recording sessions.
⭐️ Engineer Crimping Tool (amzn.to/3Rt7H0w)
This is a simple yet very effective tool to use for crimping those small JST/Molex connector pins (20-32 AWG Wires). It makes DIY installs look clean and legit.
⭐️ Ratchet & Torx 38-pc Set (tidd.ly/3mkoQvI)
A good and inexpensive beginner ratchet set. A must have for any automative DIY’er
⭐️ T8-T40 1/4" Torx Security Bit 150mm (amzn.to/3LWQPvf)
These are long Torx bits useful for reaching those deep/recessed screws (E.g. screw inside the aircon vent)
