I'm thinking about upgrading my headunit to a hands free unit with Bluetooth so I can wirelessly listen to music, make calls etc.

The million dollar question is is hands free calling in the S2K a waste of time due to noise pollution etc?

Where's the best place to mount the mic?

I've got my mic just to the left of my sun visor and it's not a problem making calls etc. with my Milltek exhaust and window down. Obviously though I imagine it's very dependent on the quality of the mic as well. But any half decent one will be fine, as mine's just a standard Alpine unit one.

Its usable with the mic behind the wheel but not great ime

I have a pioneer

But the BT is awesome

That's good to hear, I'll be opting for an Alpine too (probably the 178BT) as I've already got the modify harness etc...

How easy was it to feed the cable up the a-pillar trim? Does the mic stick out like a sore thumb or does the install look tidy?

Some pictures of the microphone location would be useful.

I'll try and grab some pics of the mic today. But feeding it up the pillar is a doddle, everything just pops of with a couple of obviously placed screws.

I have one in my S, Mic is mounted on steering cowling just in front of the speedo. No complaints off anyone on the other end

Mine is attached to the internal courtesy light twin mic unit on a parott tablet works fine no issues with reception or background noise
