Hide the wires like I did for the mic - I hate showing wires too 
see my pictures - wire the mic across the dash, up the windshield panel, and hook it right where the stock mic is - no wires show and it fits perfectly. But if not, you can only use your stock microphone for uConnect commands, you cannot use it for calls through the Pioneer Head Unit, or Apple Carplay or Android Auto, you need to use the provided mic.

Just curious, did you consider the Pioneer NEX unit that has built in nav and if so why did you opt not to go that route?

How are you able to make the gauges work?
Thanks!

This is a great write up, I am actually installing mine this weekend. Also went with the 4200nex. You can purchase the nav add on for the 4200, I'm going to add it on after a couple months, this way I don't sent the wife into ballistic mode $$$ lol!

Thanks for the great write-up. I just installed this same setup in my '15 Wrangler Rubicon. Everything works great, even the gauges. The only problem I had was the 40-EU10 antenna adapter didn't work for me. I don't use FM anyway, so no big deal for me. My Maestro unit came with a ODBII connector that I just had to plug in. No splicing required.
Android Auto works great.
I added the Esky EC180-19 backup camera as well. Mounts up really nice on my spare tire license plate mount.
Sound is much better than factory. Great upgrade!

Watch out for thieves. :(
Looks great..I put the AVH-4000NEX in my 2010 Rubi a couple of years ago and just had it ripped out on Monday at a local parking lot. Getting the 4200 as a replacement...looking forward to seeing some of the upgrades.
