Default Re: My double din install adventure

Well I gave in and stopped. I have one wire left to connect but Im so tired I figure if I dont stop I'll end up messing something up so better to wait till tomorrow to finish it.

But I promised pics so here we go

First step I tackled was the blue tooth hands free stuff aka the microphone. I dont have a pic of where I mounted it which is strange because I remember taking the pic of that. I'll shoot a pic of the actual microphone tomorrow.
I had planned on removing the A pillar cover but it didnt want to let go and as cold as it was first thing this morning I could see that ending badly. So I used my plastic trim pry bar tools to pry the top of the pillar away a tiny amount and that allowed me to clip the microphone on the pillar and then I ran the wire around the top and down the pillar tucking it behind the pillar as I went. After this I had the wire at the fuse box on the drivers side. I had looked at how everyone did it from that point getting the wire across and that was entirely to much trouble taking that kick panel off etc. So I improvised....

I took the antenna shaft off the magnetic cb antenna George had laying around and taped the plug for the microphone to it.



Next I inserted the antenna below the fuse box and ran it across the inside of the dash but I couldn't find a free spot there.






So I switched up and went above the fuse box.



Bingo !



Now that I had the wire where I wanted it I removed the tape and plugged it into the stereo.

Hands free blue tooth part done.
