When i installed a parrot kit, i took the wire underneath the dash on the drivers side and then up the pillar and clipped it onto the pillar cover so its right infront of your head.

I ran behind the glove box and then fitted in to the factory slot in the interior light

This sounds interesting, any pics? Did you put it behind the pillar? Roof lining?
