how much room behind car microphone port on center cluster?

<center><img src="http://www.alphacaraudio.co.uk/images/OLDSITE/KNA-VC300.jpg"></center><p>[photo above is of roughly the mic that comes with the iO Play]

I just bought one of these units:

http://www.my-io.com/Products/iOPLAY.aspx

it comes with a microphone that I'm hoping I'll be able to squeeze into the location where the microphone is suppose to go for the car phone (in the center of the instrument cluster).... does anyone know how much room I have to play with?

I just got the unit today, and the microphone is a little bit bigger than I anticipated ...

ummmm, the microphone is under the dome light >>

according to my bentley manual anywho..

if you have a roadster then it's in the cluster, else it's in the headliner/dome light.

AC IIRC: temp sensor used to assess cabin air temp and AC controls.

My Bentley is 4 hours away. Guessing.

resurrecting this topic a bit...

is there a lot of room to play with for the mic space above the dome lights? is there a mic in there from audi? if so, for what?

or is the mic space behind the instrument cluster?
