Is the "external microphone" just a hole on the face of the unit? Or is it truly and "external microphone on a cable that you position anywhere?

Just a hole. Most people can hear me fine, but it doesn't do a great job of killing background noise

The DEH-X9600BHS does not have a microphone built into the unit. Rather, it comes with a wired microphone with a fairly long cable, which you can mount wherever you like. Most people elect to locate it at the top of the driver's side A-pillar. The cable cab be easily concealed, and the microphone will do a great job of picking up your voice with minimal road noise.

Sorry, but I really don't know the answer to that question. Every time I use it, and believe me when I say I use it often, I have never felt the need for an external microphone. Sound is clear and crisp, as is the picture.

Not sure, but if you are referring to having it connected to a computer it could be a soft ware issue. I think I was covering up the mic with my hand at times inadvertently while recording.

I would have to agree with the previous answers non expandable does not support external mics

Yeah. It's good about that. However, I would suggest not getting this one. Mine crapped out after just four months. It may have ben that I was bending it up every which way a lot, and perhaps that messed up the wires. Just be forewarned: It may not last long, and you want to avoid bending the mic arm as much as possible.

Roger, there is a microphone included in the package. It must be plugged in the back of the deck. The wire is pretty long. I mounted mine right on top of the steering column. It doesn't get in the way at all, and there is plenty of extra length to that wire that I hid behind the dash. I will be happy to answer any more questions!

If your facing the front of it, it is on the bottom right side of it. Also, on the same side, there is a microphone jack and a usb 2.0 and 3.0.

Hi Ron, My husband has used it more than I have. He says it does have a port to hook up an external microphone as well as the built in one. Hope this helps. It has worked well for the purpose we bought it for.

Yes, you can remove the cable and put it on the right side. The microphone swivels around. You will need a screw driver. Be careful not to bend the pins.

I know that Sony sells a separate microphone and that is considered the external mic. This unit records perfectly without it.

It comes with a wired mic that you plug into the back of the unit. The wire is long enabling you to have optimal placement. I placed mine at the top of the molding next to the sunvisor on the drivers side in my car. When I talk to people most of them don't realize they are on speaker because of the placement.

It is fixed to the headphone. Its not the length of cable that is the problem it is the placement - no problem though if you are a leftie...I'm not I tend to use my Vox Amplug because you can use a decent set of headphones with it. Hope that helps !

The mic comes in the box just plug it in to the back of the unit, then run the mic to where ever you want to put it. So no internal mic just the external mic with wire.

Mine did not come with an external mic nor does it have a place you can connect an optional external mic. It does though have exceptional audio receive. I find the built-in mic has great quality.

Volume control is located next to the mic, which is on the cable near the top

I did not find a external mic jack. However there is a mic on the radio itself and the instructions say that you can record off the radio or tape or from a external source such as someone talking. We have not tried it nor do we plan to.
