Usually my google search skills are good, but I just can't seem to hit it with these things. I keep finding all kinds of other junk.
I just want a good bluetooth radio with an external microphone and a remote control for simple radio functions. Needs to be single DIN.
It will be going in the Kenworth we haul milk with. The cab is very tight and quiet on that truck and the factory sound system is great, so those two aspects are covered. However I would still like to be able to put an external mic closer to the driver as you sit a long ways from the radio, which is also why I would like to find one with a remote. With the seat slid all the way back its nice and comfortable but the radio seems a mile away. We have a shorter driver that sits in it the majority of the time and even though he obviously doesnt sit as far back as me, the shorter arms offset the seat position.
Some of us have headsets but others do not have one but do use the bluetooth in their vehicles. Another issue we run into is the fact that there is a different driver often enough and none of us really live in it so most of us forget our headsets and such.
Anybody have any good suggestions or should I get a radio that doesnt have it built in and add the extra bluetooth box. Don't know much about that but saw it in a few places.
Do not need fancy wallpapers on the screen, want a simple solution please.
Below is a replica of what our interior is like. Shows the radios placement. I do not know where the best spot would be for the Mic. The dash is too far away as is the sunvisor area. To the left just above the drivers head may work? but I don't know. I suppose I could clip it to the sunvisor surround as well.
