Parrot Install - where to route the mic & controller cables?

[mag1caltrev0r]

I've installed a Parrot CK3000 in my 172ph1 and I'm wondering how to get the microphone and controller cable wires routed to the best location.

I've got the Parrot box shoved down to the left (by the passengers footwell) but I'm thinking of mounting the mic on the top of the 'A' pillar with the controller itself in the middle of the dash.

Any advice?

get a ph2 headlining and interior light panel and fit it where renault did

Hmm, not a bad idea but I don't fancy that. I'll still need to route the cables around of course.

Thanks though

Cheers but it's the 'getting the cable to the 'A' Pillar that I can't do. Do I need to take the dash top off?

yes you do need to take off the top of the dash but it is really simple to do.it is held on by 5 screws

Nice one, I'll do it that way. may think about the 172ph2 interior light panel idea

microphone should be mounted centrally, ie near the interior light. Too much background noise/echo when fitted in the corner

This, I always install them this way.

Ah! Cheers guys. I mounted the mic at the top of the A pillar in the last car but evidently it's more of an issue in Clios.
There was me thinking the interior light suggestion was a 'cosmetic' solution. Sounds like it's the best idea really.

So I just need to keep my eye out for a 172 Ph2 Interior light cluster? Would anybody have a picture of the one I need as I've seen some that appear to be one large light whereas my car (172 Ph1) has one main light plus a moveable spot light.

Somebody also mentioned Ph2 headlining. That sounds a bit drastic... is that really necessary?

thanks again
