I might be interested in sharing the postage as well.

How on earth did you manage to get it into that compartment?!

I've put my Mic at the top of the A-pillar now.  The call quality is crystal clear according to my other half.
Now I'm in a pickle... do I try the other Fiscon Mic, or just leave the one of the A-pillar which is barely noticable.

Another update...

My eBay OEM mic turned up in the post today.
I had it checked, and it turned out its a passive Mic also.
The picture of it is in Page 1 of this thread, but you'll see it has a VERY short lead!

I got some high quality Mic cable today and did a little cutting and soldering - and then added a gold 3.5mm jack on the end.
I went through the whole procedure of removing the light / sun visor light / 'jesus handles' and fully fitted the whole thing (although I left the other one on the A-pillar for the time being).

Then I drove away to some dual carrigeway and called my fiancee.  It rang a few times, then cut off.  I rang again... the same happened.  I tried again - where I got 'Look... I'm not joking - I CAN'T HEAR YOU.  Honestly - I can't hear anything'. 
Looks like my soldering has gone bad somewhere, or the Mic is just NOT compatible!  Hopefully I have just grounded the wrong wire or something.
Its dark now... so I'll have a look again tomorrow.

I should be out driving it... not sitting in my car park wiring in Mics  :tongue:
270 miles down so far, and almost a full(ish) tank of fuel done.
Never mind - 250 miles is stage two - so I can now Rev to 4500-5000ish  :evil:

Difficult to get a good photo with my phone... but here are a couple of pics of the Mic on the A-pillar.  Barely noticable...

Not quite my friend.
Have left it up to Darren to decide. I know it is a bit cowardly but this way I don't feel to much of a turn-coat!
Just pretty desperate to get the sat nav + bluetooth for my Crackberry!

Hope all is sorted with your install tomorrow. :smiley:
