I just replaced my stock monsoon hu with a kenwood x994. The kenwood has built in bluetooth with a corded microphone. Right now I've got the microphone zip-tied to the top of the steering column. My wife says she can hear me ok but that there is a little echo. Have any of you mounted a mic on the pillar by the windshield or on the headliner by the rear view mirror?
Thanks

I have the same HU and mounted my mic to the dash to the right of the cluster next to the wheel. I can take a pic today if you like and post it up? Just pulled the cluster bezel out a bit and put the mic metal foot under it and then put the bezel back in place. No screws, glue, etc... and it looks pretty nice as the wire is run behind the bezel and back to the radio from the behind the dash. I'm pretty picky about my interior and loved the setup.

Actually, found a pic I had already uploaded to photobucket. Here you go:

Hey thanks for posting the pic. Your dash area is a little different than my 98 camaro. Your mic looks like its mounted about the same height as mine. I just wonder if raising the mic more in line with my mouth would get better sound. Thanks again.

The noise from the vents blowing doesn't get picked up?

LOL - Not if I turn it the other way.

I clipped the mic for my Kenwood DNX5120 to the headliner next to the rear view mirror. I have had no problems with echo but it does pick up a lot of wind noise with the t-tops out.

I also tucked mine into the headliner just above the rearview mirror, I used to have it in the corner where the a pillar meets the headliner. Not sure which one is better
