Then I pulled the new mic down through that opening and let it hang as I tested. Found audio quality fantastic. Looking at OEM vs. my new mic soon let me see what was happening. The OEM mic is encased with it's only opening facing down into the cab which isolates it a great deal from noise above the headliner. My new mic has openings on the side as well as at the end so it was capturing all the roof noise above the headliner.

any luck? my set up, sending 5v to the mic made too much "data" noise in the calls
