    We recently bought a 2017 Tundra and have an android linkswell gen 4 t-style radio installed. Bluetooth works perfect I can use voice demand with Siri. Calls out/in, however, when I go to talk to someone on the other end; the person on the other end can’t hear me. Does anyone know how I can fix this at home?

    True that^^

    Welcome to the forum.
    Odd you have an Android HU with an iPhone..:eek2:
    Just kidding...

    As my friend George stated, aftermarket HUs won't work with the OEM Bluetooth microphone in the overhead console.
    Does the voice command work when pushing the button on the steering wheel?

    I've had 5 different HUs in my 2014; OEM, 2 Kenwoods, and 2 Pioneers.
    With the aftermarket HUs I always had to run the included microphone for Bluetooth.
    Ran the wire from the HU, thru the dash to the driver's side dash speaker hole, up the pillar to the rearview mirror, and then tucked the wire up into the headliner.

    I hope you get it worked out..

    Thank you for the quick response. How do I install the external microphone into the head unit? Does it plug in to the usb? Or do I have to pull the unit out?

    Granted I know nothing about your HU.
    I'm finding this stuff online..
    It does reference an external Bluetooth microphone.
    I have no idea how it connects to the HU.

    Perhaps ask your installer.

    Install & User Manuals - LinksWell, Inc. (linkswellinc.com)

    The HU should have come with its own microphone.
