This part is made to fit in your cars factory microphone location.ย Not only will you get better sound quality but since it is mounted behind the factory panel you will not have to see an ugly mic hanging off your headliner.ย Due to the acoustics of the car we only recommend this for Pioneer radios.ย IF you buy your radio from us we can put the mic that comes with the radio into the housing.ย We also sel lthe hpusing by itself if you want to transplant the mic that came with your radio but we have not tested fitment of other mics yet.
