that is awesome. Something I have always wanted to do.
My smartphone mirrored in my dash
Since I was tearing apart the dash to add lighted steering wheel controls, I figured it was time to replace the stock radio. Picked up a Pioneer Appradio 3. With my rooted Android and the Appradio Unchained app, I have full mirroring and can run any app straight from the head unit. I'm quite a happy camper.

I ran the Bluetooth microphone up through the A pillar trim. I had originally planned to run the wire under the trim over the gauges, but I ended up running it under the steering wheel. I could not get the vent trim piece off even after yanking on that bastard and prying on it every which way with a trim stick for almost an hour. I hope I never have to replace the gauge cluster because I'm sure it will break before it comes off.

I ran the wire for the GPS over the glove box and out under the passenger side A pillar trim. It comes with a little magnetic pad you're supposed to stick to the dash to make it lay flat, but there was a warning it might leave a mark so I didn't use it. It seems to get reception just fine this way, and since the cord is wedged between two trim pieces it sure isn't going anywhere.

Only thing left is to tear apart the trim in the back so I can get to the Bluetooth control module and regain the use of the Bluetooth buttons on the steering wheel. I have the idea of using one of them to launch the voice command function on the phone.
