Blue tooth microphone location?

I have mine just left of the rear view mirror attached to the headliner but My microphone picks up a lot of inside background noise. I am beginning the to add sound dampener to the inside but it's going to be a while. Is there a better location or microphone so that I can actually use hands free on my phone?

It's way easier to wire and don't have to mess with the overhead

Mounted mine on the steering column right beside the hazards, seemed like the best spot that wouldn't pick up a lot of ambient or travel noise. I used to have mine on the A-pillar but it would pick up a lot of background.

On the right side inside the gauge cluster. Works great but cant see the cruise control icon if it's lit up.

I also have mine in the A-Pillar drivers side corner and have 0 issues. Actually it sounds better and with less feedback than my wife's 2013 Escape with Ford Sync / hands free calling.
