Description
Microphone for handsfree systems for CITROËN, PEUGEOT and DS vehicles.
This handsfree microphone is a direct-fit interior microphone designed for Citroën, Peugeot and DS models. It restores clear voice pick-up for Bluetooth phone calls and voice commands, making it an essential replacement part for workshops and experienced DIYers. Compatible with popular OEM part numbers, this microphone improves call intelligibility and reduces background noise when installed correctly.
Function And Typical Location
The microphone captures the driver’s voice for the vehicle’s handsfree and voice recognition systems. It is typically mounted in the overhead console/headliner area, often integrated with the interior light unit or sunroof console. Connection is via a small multi-pin plug into the vehicle wiring harness.

Installation Recommendations
Recommended for fitment by professional technicians or skilled DIYers with appropriate trim tools. Typical replacement steps:
- Disconnect the battery and wait the manufacturer-recommended time before working near the roof area to avoid electrical short circuits and reduce the risk related to restraint systems.
- Carefully remove the overhead console or headliner trim using plastic trim tools to avoid damage.
- Unplug the microphone connector from the harness and note routing of the cable.
- Fit the new microphone, reconnect the plug securely and reassemble trim in reverse order.
- Verify correct operation by making a handsfree call and checking voice clarity and signal level. Inspect connector seating and cable routing for pinched wires.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Moisture Ingress: Water leaks or condensation can corrode contacts or damage the microphone element, causing muffled or no sound.
- Connector Corrosion Or Poor Contact: Oxidation or loose connectors lead to intermittent audio or dropouts.
- Physical Damage: Impact during removal/installation or from objects contacting the headliner can damage the unit.
- Aging And Foam Deterioration: Acoustic foam or mesh can degrade over time, reducing sensitivity and introducing noise.
Practical Notes For Mechanics
Search by OEM part number (e.g., 9656164180, 9812377180, 9812373180, 6563HS) to quickly locate the correct unit for a vehicle. When diagnosing poor call quality, check the microphone connector and wiring before replacing the part. Replacement is typically straightforward but requires careful trim removal to avoid damaging interior panels or airbags.
