Where is the microphone in 118i ?
Hello there,
I'm wondering if anyone can give me a clue on where I can find the microphone (for bluetooth handfree) in the car. I've checked the auto-roof switch cluster but did not find any slot or empty socket for a microphone, and there's no cut-out on the trim or cover. Thanks in advance. |

There are two small square vent-like receivers near the two front sun visors.
Just speak normally while sitting in either of the front seats, the perception is great! Love this function. |

I am going to order the microphone plus necessary wiring, bluetooth antenna, and the Combox from a local dealer to retrofit the bluetooth system. The next step I'd like to try is opening the sun visors cluster and checking out its internal structure. |

Thanks, Ovekvam. After some research work on realoem.com, it looks like the microphone is located next to the driver side handle, above the left ear of the driver ( left-wheel model). But I haven't found the cut-out yet, maybe it's not installed at all.

Yes, that is where it is on mine. Between the handle and the sun visor mount. It looks like a small plastic housing with holes in it.
