Default Stereo install

My leads come tomorrow from CAD after a week and I annotate wait I miss my stereo.
Anyone got any good ideas where the Bluetooth mic can go. I was thinking of just poking it out of the Interior light but that will be a mission to go the cables to.
I was thinking of putting a little rubber ring on the inside bit and another on the outside bit to hold it in place.

I bet the first thing I notice is how rubbish the OEM speakers are but first thing is first.

I've got mine in the A pillar on the driver's side. It sticks out just below where the roof striker plates are.
It was quite simple to fit as the plastic cowling around the pillar just pops off.

People seem to be able to hear me fine, too.

I've got one of the modifry mounts, so have the mic attached to that coming from where the mount is attached to the dash itself. I'll try and get a picture tomorrow.

Hay all
I received my celsus interface, so far when ever I press anything on the cars buttons it just turns the stereo down and does not work.
I spoke to CAD and they said I might need a different pioneer interface if the head unit is newer.

Getting the stereo in is going no be a nightmare.

The below link says about cutting the black wire.

Sean, when I had my stereo put in I was asked for the model number so they could make sure they got the right interface in. Did cad do that.

Will arrive Monday and I got the stereo in with a bit of a push and wiggle.
What is the best and safest way to take off under the dash steering wheel side to out the mic wire through.
Cheers

There isn't anything dash-wise under the steering wheel. I just zip tied my mike wire to the main wiring loom that runs along there.
