How does
it work?
The telemute loom, or audio loom as it is also known,
is a simple but effective piece of equipment.
Every telemute / audio loom is specially designed for
each cars year, make & model. There are thousands
of various options and we can only select the correct
one once we know the year, make and model of your car.
The telemute loom / audio loom is a series of wires
with plugs at either end; these plugs are different
for each year, make and model of your car. In the middle
is the main control module, this module is the main
part of the loom which controls the whole system.
The engineer will install the lead by connecting this
to the back of your stereo. This is then connected to
the car kits main junction box, and the stereo loom
is then fitted to the telemute / audio loom.
Once a call comes in on your new car kit then the telemute
/ audio loom will start to work; firstly it mutes the
stereo for you and the call is answered. Your stereo
will display 'call' 'mute' or 'phone' depending on what
type of stereo you have (some stereo's may display nothing).
You can now clearly hear your call through your car
stereo speakers. You may notice that the sound comes
from the front speakers only; this is exactly how the
telemute / audio loom is supposed to work. Once you
have finished your call the telemute / audio loom will
then release the mute and your music will be restored.
Once the loom is installed, all of the above is done
in seconds without any delay.
What is
the advantage over an additional speaker?
One of the advantages with the telemute / audio loom
is that it increases the quality of the call. When you
have a car kit installed and an additional speaker is
fitted you will often test the car kit whilst stationary,
and usually in a car park. The call is always clear
and you are happy with the quality, but if you are in
usual car circumstances then you will notice the difference;
for example, once you are on a motorway, the noise levels
increase around the additional speaker (usually fitted
by the floor of the car), this will then result in the
call being harder to hear. With a telemute / audio loom
you will hear the call much more clearly. The reasons
for this are; the quality of car stereo speakers is
much higher than with the small additional speaker provided;
the car stereo speakers are fitted in a position designed
for optimum sound and finally you have the call coming
from two speakers either side of you. This all results
in better call quality.
The other main advantage is you have one less item on
show in the car and two more screw holes avoided. So
it does make for a cleaner install.
Please be aware that the call quality with the additional
speaker is fine, but the telemute is a luxury item that
just improves the quality altogether.
