I cut open the supplied microphone with a box cutter, removed the element, pulled the gortex (black mesh for waterproofing) off the top of the blanking plate and drilled a ~3/8" hole in it. With a little xacto work and filing I got it to fit snug and flush and used epoxy to hold it in place. I finished with a little super glue to hold the gortex back on and popped it in. Audio quality seemed good on the phone.
Does anyone know if the E93 steering housing that contains the oem mic will fit a e92? If it does could be a good place for the mr12volt one to be hidden in?
The sedan/coupe dome light area has two slots, someone posted a similar approach earlier. I don't think there is a plate included on that setup. When I get around to doing my E90 I will double check.
