where to run microphone wire from head unit

[mailatstevegilesdotnet]

so I have a new jvc head unit to install and it has a microphone lead coming out of the back - any tips on the best routing of the wire and siting of the mike?

thanks

Depends on the length of the cable. I'll be fitting one after christmas, I plan on running it under the steering column and up the a-pillar

There is a parrot kit with mic fitted in mine.. was not fitted by me.. but was feed through the a piller and then along the roof and clipped near the side view mirror into the headliner. Ill get some pics up.

Exactly what i did with mine. I pulled the door seal off and fed it under the roof lining and dow  the a pillar into the side of dash (fuses) and under the steering and into the dvd player

Thanks, need to measure, but looks like cable is long enough to site mike near rear view mirror and run cable behind head lining and behind trim down A pillar. Haven't figured out how easy it is to run cable behind panelling under steering column yet, but sounds like that is the best way. If cable not long enough then guess mike will have to go at top of A pillar...

Take it through the glovebox. It will be easier less trim to take off

I simply fed mine from the stereo past the fuse box and up the pillar you can the see the wire at all works perfect

thanks, never thought of glove box route - seemed more intuitive to stay driver's side

Up the A pillar for me too

Pretty much all set now, except arial cable has a blue wire coming out of it and the radio will not play AM radio - presume the two issues are connected, but don't know how to resolve...

any more input please?
