Production Solution Not applicable. Service Scenario 1: Rubber gasket on the front face of the microphone is damaged 1. If there is damage found, then replace the microphone (Figures 1 – 4). You can also rub along the seal with your finger to check whether it has become loose. Note: The following images are for example only. Depending on the vehicle model, the microphone design could be slightly different. Figure 1. A correctly installed and undamaged gasket. Page 2 of 7 © 2020 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Figure 7. The correct way to install the microphones. Scenario 2: Rubber gasket is undamaged 1. If the rubber gasket is undamaged, check whether the microphones are firmly seated in their sockets. A clicking sound is heard while inserting the microphones to show a correct and secure installation. If the cloth cover on the roof module trim is not smooth (Figures 8 – 9) then a secure acoustic seal of the microphones cannot be guaranteed. Figure 8. The cloth cover is without blemishes.
