Where is the microphone in Acura RDX?
The microphone for the RDX’s hands-free system is mounted in the overhead console near the interior rearview mirror.
Location and how it works
The primary microphone used for voice commands and hands-free calling is mounted high in the cabin, near the center of the ceiling, just in front of the rearview mirror. This placement helps capture your voice clearly while minimizing road and wind noise. Some trims may include additional microphones for improved voice pickup and noise cancellation, but the central overhead mic is the main one for the system.
Before listing the exact placement, here is a quick note on what to look for.
- Overhead console near the interior rearview mirror on the headliner, typically around the mirror housing or sun-visor area.
In practice, locating the microphone is not user-serviceable; if you suspect a mic issue, have a dealer inspect the HandsFreeLink/Voice Recognition system.
Summary
The Acura RDX’s primary microphone is located in the overhead console near the interior rearview mirror, with potential additional mics in some trims to improve voice pickup. For service or replacement, consult an Acura dealer.
