I used for awhile but Jag radios are not the best. Ive had two in my 99 and now that one has died. Going to do a Kenwood as soon as i figure how to do a adapter plate that know one seems to make.
have you got the stl for this please? I’d love to do the same!?

There have been some solutions posted for the mic and for the button, but I prefer them to be completely inobtrusive. So, it turns out that the discountcarstereo mic can be stuffed into the overhead console in the gap behind the passenger airbag sensor towards the driver. Works great, sound quality good. See picture below.
Location of the microphone in header console. Cable run in front of header, down interior of A-pillar, across the top of the driver footwell into the console.
Since my wife doesn't smoke anything, she suggested giving up the ashtray. So, I drilled a hole in the front of the ashtray enclosure for the cables, machined an insert out of ABS plastic (colored the color of the car, as requested) to hold the button and an aux USB connector. See below. All as inobtrusive as I want, and she is now as accessible to the phone as she appears to want. Also, she still has a lighter so she can still start smoking if she brings an aux ash tray.
Just installed the discountcarstereo.com A2D-JAG98 bluetooth this weekend. Appears to work great, even at earsplitting volume. No obviously great place, however, for the remote. So, I installed it on top of the cigar lighter that I will surely never use to light cigars since I have a good one .......”
^^^^^ +1. This is one I’m using. It’s a breeze to install via the amp in the trunk. About 2 hours total including a beverage break
in my opinion the sound quality of this wired in adapter is far far superior to the type which use an FM station to catch the Bluetooth signal.

New 'Carnival Red" button/USB insert.
Hey,
Was thinking about the same solution for mic installation, great suggestion! What about the difficulty on cabling inside the roof and back to the trunk, any pics, and or hints? Thanks a lot!!!

Unfortunately, no additional pictures, but the electronics box for this goes inside the center console, and the wires to the CD changer go to the boot/trunk which is straightforward. Pull to the back under the rear seat, up the right side under the trim and through the tunnel at the right side of the roof where all of the other wires go. The video to remove the center console is helpful here except he has the metal brackets that hold the shift surround wood backwards.
The button comes directly off of the electronics box, so can be placed almost anywhere. More recently, I have replaced the plastic piece that held the button and USB connection with a finished wood piece in paduak. Now that I have found suitable pieces of walnut burl, I probably will replace that again at some point in the future.
The single wire to the mic can be snaked under the trim in the driver footwell to the left side, inside the A-pillar trim without removing anything. I loosened the screws to the header to make it easier to snake under the header trim and the header console needs to be removed to put the mic into the position shown in the pictures above.

Good luck with it.
Thanks a lot!!!
Ill see if they produce the part and then bring it home. Maybe I can take some pics for installation.
