I don't want to use the phone connection, so if I don't hook up the microphone, will the radio still answer incoming calls via BlueTooth when I'm connected?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings! I see that you can essentially "plug-and-play" the Continental 74XX series radio in place of the CDR-210 with the appropriate harness, but I have a question about the BlueTooth. I don't want to use the phone connection, so if I don't hook up the microphone, will the radio still answer incoming calls via BlueTooth when I'm connected? Can that be disabled? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Mine does fine without the external microphone. Answers call via bluetooth and I have asked callers about the call quality and no complaints. Not sure what you mean by disable. You mean permanently or when a call comes in?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, I wasn't aware it would work without the external microphone. I was going to see if I could completely disable the feature, but that doesn't seem to be necessary.
