I'm getting ready to install the Pioneer Z2 and I would appreciate any advise as to where to install the microphone.

I'm looking for it to be effective without the echo that has been discussed in some of the threads , yet as unobtrusive as possible. My car is an FJ Cruiser

Thanks in advance for any suggesttions.

Either above the rearview mirror or at the top of the A-pillar

Top of Driver's A pillar. Works great.

Here's where I plan to put mine on my G35:

(see attached)

what do you guys think...?

stuck mine above the Rear View Mirror

Mine is right next to the steering wheel.

we've flush mounted one in a factory mic location and it sucked!! just in case you still wanted to drill a hole. i had mine in the a-pillar and recently moved it above the rearview mirror, no difference, just looked better behind the mirror

I tried it by drilling a hole in the upper center console in front of the top up/down switch (mustang convertible) and mounting the mic there... didn't work too well

Now have it mouted right in the middle of the instrument cluster, seems to work ok

mine is here

Front and center.

Front and center.

Little warm up there eh?

I had mine professionally installed and they put it clipped on the top of the rear view mirror. It's far enough away from the speakers so you don't get echo, and also allows passengers to join in conversations when using the phone, or requesting information. The kids get a kick out of telling it to Call Home or map out going to their friend's house.

Bay, The install looks good! How is the sound quality?

It's great! Voice recognition works flawlessly and people I speak to over the phone can't even tell I'm using a hands free system!
