  1. Most likely you will need to obtain a wiring diagram for your vehicle, and cut the wires, then cut the wire for the mic that came with your head unit, and splice them together. Im not sure about your vehicle, but I did it in my 2010 Ford Explorer. I was able to find the wires for the built in mic that connected to the factory Sync, and splice it to the BT120.

There is no wire at all on Pin 14, let alone a Grey Wire with a Black Stripe on either factory harness. There was also no Illumination wire on the harness, The harness they sent, has the Illumination wire, but on the factory harness, it's blank. I was able to tap into the Illumination wire that goes to the heating controls, and that wor
