has anyone used something like in this bimmer thread?
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1036795

the guy added a capacitor, 9v battery, and a resistor between the camera and the mic. the sound is amazing as it's able to filter out all the wind and leave only the engine noise. however i built one, but i can get it to pick up anything at all. and yes, i did double check my connections and the voltage on the battery. it's audible when i tap the mic on a table or blow into it really hard.

someone please shed some light on this topic. thanks.

Something similar to this has been covered here in this forum, however not as ellaborate as this one.(with the board and bigger jack
Ask the guy on the bimmer forum... he might know where you went awry...

bad mic?
cold solder joint?

mic doesnt work. i just ordered the parts listed on that thread and see if it makes a difference. i think it's my mic since the sensitivity dB is totally different than what that dude used. plus, it's rated for 10Volt, not 2Volts.
