UPDATE TO MY POST (Problem found with my previous install)
My setup of bypassing the CAN bus to get access to the SWC volume controls, made some unexpected response when I try to use the MID controls when accessing vehicle information, oil reset, clock reset etc [pressing the menu button]...
Mechanically, my mic hold up well since I think sony designed the mic's mounting to be mounted on the vent - it has a u shape mount exactly sized as the vent louvers. Unlike my JVC mic which has a double sided tape.
Regarding noise of blower vs voice recognition - it still worked ok. Siri could...
For my install, i tried to tap into the built in mic of the civic2013, which are the terminals #1,2,3 at the blue tooth module. But i was not successful using the built in mic.
so i have to install the mic that came with my sony radio (located at vent - see photo)

It's my car's wife and she doesn't like me running wires all over the place.
So i place the mic just in the front vent; wires tuck inside the vent (see photo).

Thanks for the response.
My recent headunit replacement was for my honda 8th gen civic 2008 - i used the idata maestro switch for it and got the steering wheel controls to work (JVC carplay/android auto radio capable).
So for my 2013 honda civic, i purchased the one you just recommended -...

i just did my civic 2013 headunit replacement - i was not able to successfully connect the volume, track forward steering buttons to the new headunit. But i was able to successfully connect the Hands free buttons -i have the accept call, end call and voice command steering wheel buttons to...
Thanks for this thread. I have to postpone my planned head unit replacement for my civic 2013 due to the bluetooth concerns brought up in this thread.
I am presently in the process of replacing my civic 2013 non-premium headunit with a sony ax-5000 (carplay/androidauto) but was just a little...
