This Service Information Bulletin provides a testing procedure for the microphone used in Denso CP1 infotainment systems.  The procedure is to be used as a diagnostic tool for customer concerns related to microphone operation. This testing is performed after accessing Dealership Mode and is applicable to units installed with Version 1 or Version 2 software.  This procedure will be used temporarily until Version 3 has been released and installed.

Because of an inadequate gain setting, the microphone indicator level currently shows either just one or no “bars” at all when 2 or 3 bars should be displayed, especially when the input sound is brief (short).
