Slotted oval thing on headliner?
Just curious, I purchased my Mini 3 weeks ago, and noticed an oval piece on the headliner up from my rearview mirror. What is it? It's slotted and looks to be a microphone. For a hands free kit?
If it is a microphone, can I use it when I install an aftermarket Bluetooth kit? Is it prewired, just not hooked up since I don't have the bluetooth accessory? Thanks.

Yes, its for a hands free mic. I don't think they ever actually developed a mic to go in there. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I put a Motorola hands free kit and mounted the mic in there, but it was too muffled. I even cut the slats but it still sounded terrible. Now my mic is on the visor mount.

The mic on the visor (temporarily secured w/ double sided tape)
Here's the cradle (ignore the dirt )
The main unit is under the driver's seat and the speaker is in the passenger foot well mounted to the center stack.

Its used everyday with a Razor. Wife thinks its the BEST mod of the car.
