Are you sure that they are not integrated into the ISO harness? I'm pretty sure from what I remember they are.

Hi, I've just installed a JVC KD-R736BT Head unit in my 2001 Discovery 2 (cut, splice & solder method - didn't think to look for an adapter :p). The problem I have is how to get the microphone cable to run from the back of the head unit up to the A pillar (or anywhere external actually) I can't feel any obvious exit points from behind the head unit. I only took the previous stereo out, I didn't take apart any more of the dash - do I need to to be able to run the microphone cable ?
Cheers,
Andrew.
Take out the stuff below, cup holders, coin trays etc. There's a hole you can drop it down, then across to under the steering column and up the pillar.
I went the other way over the glovebox -you can feed the wire over the vent duct without taking anything out, squeeze it into the gap between door seal and dash and the. Up under the a pillar trim. I could have put the thing in the boot with the amount of cable supplied!
I guess thats the deciding factor. The cable can be dropped down behind the coin/ash tray on the rivers side, by removing it, you may be able to feed it across depending on size. Mine plugged in with a aux type pluf so fed from under dash to the left rather than centre to right.
Follow the ISO loom/steering control wiring. This runs into the area behind the drop down panel beneath the steering wheel through a gap at the right of the head unit. You don't need to pull any of the dash but if you look where the wiring loom runs up to the head unit it's fairly obvious.
