OEM microphone locations other than steering wheel column?

[DavesZed]

It so happens I've already fitted three of these ones now, and another this coming Saturday.
Other than the different connection position it works in the same way.
But to note, and I've not had these issues myself...

There have been some reports of problems with the microphone connection. The ones I've installed have all been fine.
Due to it connecting via the quadlock, this can create an issue if you require any coding to the headunit afterwards. Again I've not had this issue, but the remedy is to temporarily remove the new Y quadlock loom and reinstate the original, but this is a very "once in a blue moon" event, so shouldn't be a problem.

I intend to do a video update for this box this weekend to cover these issues and the microphone connection.

I assume given I had the ‘old’ mr 12 volt MMI box working ok that my car will ‘know’ about the coding so the quad lock should be a non issue ?

In short, yes
