..do the smilleys make it softer????

Does the Fabia not have the standard cabin / map reading light module that takes the OEm mic? I'm sure SWMBO's does. That would seem to be the bext place to me - certainly works well in the Octavia...

I placed the microphone there is SWMBO's MK5 Golf and the volume was very quiet, so i removed it and replaced it on the outside of the light module and the volume is much better.

..yes the fabia 3 has the standard cabin / map reading light module im not sure ábout it taking the OEM mic,maybe someone else can answer that for us.

I have ordered a OEM mic with a cable set ,hopefully i will be able to place it there.

Pop the light out, remove the plastic diffuser, then underneath you will see a couple of philips screws, unscrew those and the light assembly pops out. You should see a small "grill" with a rectangular foam block in it about an inch long and 1/2 inch across, pop the foam block out, and just clip the OEM mic in to the "grill" in it's place, run the wire down the A pillar ....... job done.

Carefull removing the A pillar as there are bit's of the curtain airbag mechanism in there and a speaker iirc.

That's the way to do it - looks harder than it is, really is easy to do. As fluffmeister says, but be a bit careful if you have curtain airbags

.........cheers guys ..........

..and wish me luck....................

..ill get back with an update when finished

......actually the airbag curtains are in the side windows...........................

Yep, but on my old Roomster, which had curtain airbags, part of the wiring for them ran down through the A pillar. The Roomster shares the same front end / cockpit with the Mk2 Fabia.

.....what about when you want to change the speaker on the sidev doors is that a problem with the air bags???

Nope not that I am aware of, that's only going to mean whipping the door cards off.

..i was a bit relactant at taking the A pilars off and since i could see at there was a gap between the A pilar and the rubbur door hose seal i managed to hide the mic. cable in that gap,but now im abit skeptical if it is in the way of the airbags as i think i could see them(airags tucked in the roof) :'(

...hmmm should i redo and take A pilars offf??????????
