1. ভূমিকা
The iDatalink Maestro ADS-MIC1 is a module designed to facilitate the retention of your vehicle's factory-installed microphone when upgrading to an aftermarket stereo system. This module acts as an interface, allowing the existing microphone to function with a new compatible head unit, thereby eliminating the need for installing a separate external microphone.
The ADS-MIC1 can operate as a standalone unit or integrate with other iDatalink Maestro modules, such as the ADS-MRR, ADS-MRR2, and ADS-MSR (sold separately). These modules are engineered to maintain and, in some instances, enhance the functionality of your vehicle's original features when an aftermarket radio is installed, particularly with iDatalink-compatible head units. This integration is achieved by connecting the new stereo with the vehicle's existing systems and translating information through the CAN bus network.
