Part of my stereo install is installing a mini-microphone for the blue-tooth phone connection. The instructions say to mount it on the steering column but I don't like that idea too much.
Any ideas? |

How about on the right side of the gauge cluster? similar to where the headlight knob is on early c4s but on the right. small hole drilled and its all hidden.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
The mic also has a clip that could be clipped to the sunvisor and the ball socket stand you see attached in the photo slides into the clip. Otherwise they provided 3M sticky tape to mount it using just the stand. I have a couple ideas, but I thought I'd see what you creative genius' come up with. Attach file:  IMG_0363.JPG (29.63 KB) |

Can you mount it inside one of the vents?

I thought about the vent area just above the DIC. Not actually inside the air vent but in the louvers to the left of the air duct. There is an ambient air sensor in their I believe also. However running the wire could be problematic in that location. Attach file: dashC4.jpg (60.91 KB) |

That's what I was referring to. I think you could do it with little trouble. |

I have an LED for my alarm mounted close to there. With the vent louvers and the radio faceplate you can run the wire. I need the wires to come out up closer to the firewall and used a coathanger to push the wire in beside the carpeted kick panel. You just need to go from the vent to the headunit, right? |

You can stick it in the vent, I've seen it done on late model C4s with a shiftlight.
But isn't that going to screw with it if the air is blowing? I have a little portable unit that goes on the visor with a magnet and clip, although I've only used it a few times. I prefer to be unavailable. |

I was thinking on those lines too Kevin. I was concerned that if I had air blowing out of the vent it would interfere with the listeners audio on the other end. But.... If I make myself unavailable as you, I wouldn't have to even worry about mounting it and I could use it as a lavalier! He he he!  |

Best place is right above your rear view mirror. You have to remove the cover peices, buts only a handful of screws. That where mine is mounted and the sound quality is quite good, with or without the lid on.

I would agree putting it in the duct would be bad. Air flow would drown out voices.
As an aside, there isn't a thermister in that duct. It is in the center of the passengers side duct. I would think if you put so it would pop out at the speedo, too. But of all, I like the roof near the rear view mirror. That's where they like to put them for OEM installs. |

jdtireman and Bogus get the win!!!
Although the other ideas had merit and I thought about the vent hard, I decided to go with the mirror as it really is the easiest to run the wire believe it or not. Here's a photo - the mirror and trim panel are both dangling by the wires, and I still need to clip the tie wraps that are securing the mic to the mirror. After I get the trim back in tomorrow night I'll shoot another pic to place here. Attach file: mic001.jpg (250.41 KB) |
