How is your sound quality with the mic flush mounted in the card holder? I did that but it sounded horrible. I had to let the mic stick out about 1/4 inch for it to sound decent.

Great job.

It seem to be picking up my voice pretty good, but then again, I haven't used it extensively, so I am not positive. The few commands I tried worked on the first try. But i also have been speaking in the general direction of the mic

oh yeah and now im still able to use my auto headlights...that damn PAC was messing with everything. you need 2 pac's to be able to use the auto headlights...ducatiboys switch just does the high low switch enabling the bypass. it works great, i recommend anyone who has a z1 to get it.

really depends...I got mine installed for 140 labor plus 20 for soldering work. looks like you will have a great setup there, just about everything I wanted to add to mine. I would say less than a few hundred for install but really it depends on your installer
