    Why on earth did they make these when they already had several automotive solutions that worked direct from the phone? This is such a dumb product.

      For the same reason your car’s mic is usually above the driver’s sun visor area and not in the center console.

          They said your car’s mic, not the Google one. The car’s mic generally is on the driver’s side and the Google one is better for use with passengers because it’s centrally located.

            The Google mics they are talking about were adapters that were plugged into the ac cigarette lighter.

              Right, the “they” I’m talking about is the commenter two up from my original comment. I understand what the article is talking about, but the commenter I replied to misunderstood that “car’s mic” wasn’t referencing a peripheral device rather than the factory mic in any car that has Bluetooth.
