Getting a DDX812 installed on the 21st and was wondering where you guys have the mic for the bluetooth module. Pictures would be great if you guys have them to.

 

A-pillar.

 

Yep, A-pillar right where tree fiddy put his.

 

That's where I have mine. Out of the way of the sun visors and doesn't get bumped getting in/out of the car.

 

That spot looks really good. My BT adapter is about to come in tomorrow. How difficult is it to route the wire to that location? Any major issues with removing the A pillar trim and getting the wire behind it? Any advice is much appreciated.

 

i have mine on top of the rearview mirror

 

Not really too tough. The A-pillar just pops off and I ran the wire behind/underneath the dash and back in behind the console. I think I used a couple of wire ties to hold the wire behind the dash. I also bent the bracket on the mic itself so it could slide down behind the A-pillar. When I got it, it was basically a clip and I straightened it out.

 

any other style of mics found and used by anyone........the cylindrical tube style like that one is not for me........wondering if anyone found one that mounts flag on surface? etc..

or maybe different mounts for them? etc?

I have mine installed by the rear view mirror. It's not as visible as from the a pillar imo

 

Same place I put mine. I think above the rearview mirror is the best place because it's not easily seen and when the visor is down it doesn't block any sound.

 

dont mean to bump such an old thread but can you guys provide pictures of the rearview mirror placement. I recently bought an avic x910bt and i wanted to see my available options on placement ofthe mic

 

Hey guys sorry to be bringing up an old issue but I'm really torn on where to place my BT mic. I'm basically thinking of doing a variation of what TreeFiddyZee (and probably what many of you have done) did or try to drill a hole in the A-pillar and make it more flush/descrete. Anybody out there try the drilling method? If not, do you got any ideas on how I would keep the mic in place besides apoxy or tape? I basically want just the face of the mic showing through the hole. Open to ideas, was actually thinking of using a small peice of styrafoam.

 

Check THIS out... maybe it'll give you some ideas?
