Its definitely a MIC with the phone kit (if you still have the phone dock).

But if you want to use another phone/handsfree kit, then it will most prob come with a MIC?  :y

AFAIK, the wires should lead to a unit behind the glovebox, the 4wires coming out from that unit:
1-mic 2-speaker (phone brand) 3-power 4-mute(stereo)

Just a thought for flexibility you can look into bluetooth car kits? (iv got a nookia ck-7w)  :y

Just realised for some reason i didnt end up using the original mic (didnt fit or something) so ended up using the mic that came with the CK-7w!

Facelift mics can be used with Nokia carkits - simply use the prewiring plug taped above glovebox.

Mics fitted to CCRT700 equipped cars cannot be used with Nokia kits
