#Using a Stepped Drill Bit I increased the diameter of one of the holes in the back of the Pocket enough so that I could fit the RJ11 connector, on the Interface Cable, through it.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_18.jpg|400px]]
#After putting the Center Stack back together it was time to put the car back together! Looks good!<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_22.jpg|266px]]
#Now we need find somewhere to hang the mic. I decided the area underneath the right vent was a good spot. I don't really need to see the Passenger Airbag Indicator, it is close to the right side of the radio, it's within reach of the driver and it's got a nice flat space. I found a plastic microphone hanger that attaches with double sided tape. This was ideal since I wasn't excited about drilling holes right in the middle of my console. The back of the hanger wasn't quite flat (it protruded where the plastic was injected) so I cleaned it up with some 220 grit sandpaper. After that it was just a matter of sticking it in place. Notice that I placed the mic in the hanger and temporarily positioned it with my hand to ensure I liked how the mic hung.'''NOTE: the adhesive just wasn't up to the task of holding the heavy mic on and it fell off a few times. I finally removed it and currently keep my mic in one of the slots in my console. Later I may bolt a hanger onto the dash.'''<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Mic_1.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Mic_2.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Mic_3.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Mic_4.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Mic_5.jpg|266px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Mic_6.jpg|266px]]
