I thought this article was going to be about the microphone that comes included with aftermarket radios. I had no idea that dedicated cigarette lighter mics were a thing. No wonder why they’re shutting it down. Between the mic(s) on your phone and the mic that came with your stereo, it’s a twice redundant product. Why did it even exist to begin with? Who is this for? Someone who doesn’t own an aftermarket radio or a car made in the past decade, who also doesn’t have a phone but somehow has access to Android Auto? What were they thinking? Why would anyone buy this?
