I have been using a 6' mic extension for several months with no reports of noise or interference.

Beowulf, cool thx.
so where do you have the mic plug in (where on the center console)? The LX has a subwoofer in the way so I have fewer options w/ where to put the plug recepticle.

update-
I got my RAM parts in 1 day! Installed quick n' easy thanks to Jo Maoma's writeup
I also threaded a 2nd line for the mic- which plugs in down at the parking brake area
altho it may look like it, it does not interfere with the visors. there is more than enough clearance and adjustability.
I'm a sucker for super clean installs and this is perfect! it's a much better location too. big thanks to Jo Maoma!

I used a standard RJ12 coupler [F-F] (needs to have all 6-pins).

The 6' RJ-12 6-conductor phone cord goes from the head unit behind the dash, along the wiring channel on the front driver side floorboard, under the carpet, under the driver seat, and comes out from under the carpet by the e-brake. Then I use the coupler for the plug-in for the mic.

Sorry, no pics of that part of my install but this is what the coupler looks like.
