Installed Parrot CK3000. I like it!

Hey, Im new to the boards here, but I thought Id share some pics of my parrot kit installation.
First I should mention that I have no experience whatsoever with car audio systems or with installing car electronics. The directions that came with the adapter from parrotkits.com were great and even I thought it was easy. Its just plug and play. The only cutting of wires I had to do were to the center dash speaker, but its not hard at all.
When I bought the kit, I did a search on here and someone else had a problem with getting it to recognize the "magic words" (to answer or hang up on incoming calls by voice). So far Ive only had to repeat the command once for it to understand me. Seems to work great. Im told road noise gets a bit loud when Im getting toward 50mph, but Im still understandable.
Heres the pics of where I placed the buttons and mic.

Not sure if you saw my writeup on installing mine...

... but I've had it for quite a while now. I originally installed my mic where you have yours, but too many people complained of horrible background noise so I stopped using it altogether for about 6 months. I recently changed the location of the mic, though. It is now attached to the homelink/sunglass holder console. The cord is completely hidden but the mic is obviously visible. People tell me they can hear me better now. Not perfect, but probably as good as this little thing can get.
Wish I had the newer 'runner with the bluetooth built in, but my car is not even 3 years old so I'd better learn to deal with it.
