I have the mic for my JVC head unit run up the A-pillar, acroos the front of the headliner, and clipped onto the overhead controls, close to where the factory mic is. My reason for snaking it over is so that if my wife is in the passenger seat, she can link her phone up via Bluetooth, and have just as good clarity speaking.
This is exactly what I did for my '00 Yukon XL. I removed the OnStar mike, and clipped the new in its place.

This is the same I one I bought. I haven't had time to install it yet.

What did you use to cut the bracket out?

I used a razor blade to score the area well, the sharper the better, and then I used some long needle nose pliers to just clip off the rest of the plastic at the bottom. Came off pretty easily. I am just very glad I did not have to remove the metal mount, I was not looking forward to that, plus it was there for a reason, would like to keep it :) Hope this helps.

I love the radio, its great. I still have not figured out how to get my Nexus 6P to full intergrate. I have read that you can actually have your apps, like google maps, run on it. Don't know about that though. Right now, with the help of a parking brake bypass I up and running though.

I wans't sure about removing the mic, I just unclipped it and put it in the top of the console. Seems fine. But you guys really have helped me so much and it works GREAT in that location!!!

I just got the AVH-X5800BT. I love it so far. I'm glad I have Siriusxm radio now. Although my s7 edge doesn't work with the app radio. I can get the menu to display and it exactly mimics my phone screen but as soon as I try to use an app, like waze, my screen gets scrambled on the pioneer. And I completely removed the onstar mic, disconnected the connector and put the new mic right in its old place in the overhead console.

They need to issue a firmware update for this issue. I have read about this alot. It seems to be more CrApple friendly so I dunno.
