SDS Hack

[wez3570]

Having just read GeoffT's post (http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/new-a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/49656-sds-mic-cable.html) am wondering whether there is an easier way to do the SDS hack...

Geoff spliced into the mic wires at the A-pillar without needing to run wires right through to the mic in the roof light... Is it possible to apply the splice closer to the RNSE i.e. right behind it thus negating the need to take off the A-Pillar and/or roof light?

Or am I missing something?

The Bluetooth mic cable doesn't run near the back of the head unit as far as I'm aware. Hence tapping into it behind the pillar.

I had an idea to source a similar/identical microphone to the Bluetooth one, connect it to the back of the RNSE and find somewhere to hide it near the steering column cowl.
