Pioneer Bluetooth Kit

[Asi]

hi there,

bought a Bluetooth adaptor for the new headunit. now i dont know where to put the mic. any suggestions?

I put the mic at the top of the driver's side A-pillar (i.e. by the sun visor). Following an excellent suggestion from Johnboy (his idea, not mine), I made a clip for it out of a cable tie, tied around the mic, then a little stub left which was poked down inside the pillar trim.

I've got my phone mic just above the rear view mirror, and voice recognition mic at the top of the a pillar and both work fine so you could use either. Only thing to think about is that if your passenger may sometimes get involved with phone calls makes sense to put the mic in the middle of the car :)

looks like the pillar idea is good. i have got a clip for the mic was provided by pioneer lets see if that would fit.

The clip that came with my Pioneer head unit was massive, it's designed to go onto the sun visor and was no good for attaching to a pillar. Don't know if yours might be similar.

[Asi]

it is big. have you got a pic of wot you done.

thanks

I'll take a pic tomorrow. Was very very easy to make the clip, just a few seconds. Not too hard to take the trim off and feed the cable up there, though if you've got airbags in the pillar you need to be a lot more careful (I don't have airbags there).

i dont have airbags either. i tried taking it off was pretty easy. would like to make the clip and put the mic on so its all ready before i fit the head unit. looking forward to the pics stevie

thanks

[Asi]

stevie still awaiting pics. i know you have been busy

[Steviewevie]

Sorry Asi, I completely forgot !

Just took some pics, here they are. It's incredibly simple, just a cable tie (black ones obviously suited the black microphone well), tied around the body of the mic and pulled tight, and then the end poked down inside the pillar trim. My cable tie was quite a short one so I didn't bother trimming the end off.

Credit to Johnboy who gave me this tip for mounting the mic ! :D
