X10 microphone question

[simkna]

I stopped in at my local PCW tonight, and had a play with their display 910. It was mounted in an acrylic display, and was attached to, and getting power through what I presume was a desk mount.
I was able to pair it with my Orange SPV phone, and successfully dial a number using it, but what I don't know is whether the x10 has a built in mic, or whether the bluetooth phone functionality is only available using the plug in mic through the screen mount. I hope it's the former, as the desk mount looks like a better in-car mounting solution for me, as I wish to dash mount it in a cubby on top of the dash.
Overall though, it seems a very nice unit - would be much better with the blue 'info' section of the nav screen at the side rather than at the bottom though.

It does have a built in microphone, but for decent comunication use the external suplied device it is far better - the in built unit is some what lacking in comparison - Mike

yep the supplied seperate mic is far better, that could be my fault i pushed a pin through the hole thinking it was the reset button

I read through the book to find the reset hole, but I can understand how this hapened, I think the unit should be supplied with a screen protector (tear off) that points to the small hole and explains what it is - this might reduce the number of units damaged this way - Mike
