Best location for a microphone

As per the title really 😬
I've bought a microphone for controlling the stereo. Where's the most effective location for it ?

On my Puma the microphone that I use for hands free voice calls via my head unit is located on the top plastic steering column shroud. It is adjustable and points towards my head. So far it’s worked perfectly.

I agree with Ian here, seems to be the most reliable location. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Hi

Mine is mounted just to the right of the clock on that little false grill part of the dash. It appears to work well.

Thanks chaps 👍 I've never needed it before but I've discovered voice control of spotify via my Android head unit 😁
