I know some of you guys didnt like my advice about the mic location....so I tried something different and found a location that works just as well, keeps the mic out in the open so it works well, and makes it almost about invisible.




First I took off the foam and the bracket clip so that the mic would be as small as possible

I still used the twist tie wrapped around the mic to hold it in place, I loosened the boot where the wiring runs to the mirror and pulled the wire tie through the gap, pushed the boot back into place and the mic was secure. The wire for the mic just comes out of the front of the headliner. From the drivers seat you can barely see it, and even if you do look at it, it doesnt look like anything, it kind of looks like part of the mirror mount.



I did some testing and it sounds just as good in this location as far as I can tell.
