Routing a new microphone

Hi

 

can anyone tell me how to route a microphone to a suitable new position? I was thinking near the sun visor or so it drops through the courtesy light. I have no idea if trim etc needs to be removed to do this but I have read it's easy.

Do you feed the wire through an existing seal or something?

Thanks!

Up the A-pillar would be the easiest way. Pull the weather strip away and you'll see where the trim attatches. I would just push the wire behind the weather strip and leave it at the top of the A-pillar :thumbs:

That's where I have mine. Gets pretty good reception there too.

Thanks guys

 

so I need to removed the weather strip entirely, run the mic cable then replace it? Or is there an easier way? Is it easy to replace the weather strip afterwards? Flat head screwdriver or something?

These are the sorts of jobs I always fear doing irreversable damage with but I really want this aspect of my car right.

 

Is the weathe strip that requires removing immediately obvious?

 

Thanks!

No need to remove it completely as the chaps have said. It does pop out dead easy, just give the bit of it that touches the a-pillar a little tug. Dead easy to push back in afterwards, I've had mine off loads of times, no tools needed :thumbs:
