I had the same problem.... I solved it by turning every sample that was played the same time into monophonic and only the sample I was having the problem turned into polyphonic!!!! I hope it helps!!!! Hi!!!!! I had the same problem….

I'm not so sure placing the mic by the mirror would provide much more of an improvement, if any, due to it being right in the centre of the sound stage. I guess it would be easier to temporarily install it in both locations and test it, then fully install it in the best of the two. I have the CDR23 rather than the PCM - I didn't need any codes to reactivate the unit. You'd have to check the PCM manual for that one. Hi Goose,

From a look point of view then the dash wins, from a function point of view should it be up by the mirror? Any further updates on the performance of the microphone located in the dashboard? Also, when you disconnect the battery do you need codes to rest the PCM etc? Cheers, Goose I’m just about to do the same procedure and I’m wondering where the best location for the microphone is.

( I am a little scared to remove the cluster, but I suppose if you couldn't run the wire even with that awesome endoscopic camera, then I have little chance ... is that right? ) Kris – in retrospect, do you think it would be possible to thread the mic wire (maybe using a rigid fish line) through the dash *without* removing the instrument cluster?

Though, I think the BTA1000 might now have been discontinued as there is now a BTA1500 available. I'm not sure what the differences are. Hi Marcio,
