Aftermarket Bluetooth Mic in Factory Bluetooth Mic Location

Yes, I've done it with my car without any major issues. Follow the thread posted above to disassemble the map light switch cover (requires a small flat head to pry the cover).

Route the mic cable through the A-pillar and tucked underneath the headliner (same as one would do when installing an aftermarket rearview mirror). The mic can be pushed through the headliner through the opening of the map light cover. Tear the dust cloth out of the map light cover, use masking tape to hold the mic in place, and use epoxy to permanently attach the mic.

I know this is an older thread but wanted to say thanks for the info.

Already had the Microphone wired up though the A pillar and under upper lining. Had it mounted just above the rear view mirror (not hidden) and it would show up in the mirror.
Thanks to your info, I pulled my light covers, then the center cover (one with off-on-door switch), then the assembly that holds the light. All fairly easy to remove. Then I clipped away some of the plastic on the driver side of the center cover and placed my microphone in what has to be the factor spot on the driver side portion of the cover. I left the dust cover in. So far, sounds good but that was just sitting in the garage. May remove the cover if it gives me issues. Thanks again!
