GPS antenna / bluetooth mic questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

Okay, two questions..

So I recently upgraded the stock HU to a Pioneer Avic F-700. I haven't found a good solution for mounting the GPS antenna or the mic for bluetooth. Keep in mind I'd like everything to look as clean as possible so no clipping the mic to the visor.

I read on the Yaris secrets area of the forum that the front overhead lights have the little "vents" in them because it's the same as the Prius and that's where the bluetooth mic is located. Has anyone popped it off to see if there is room to mount a mic?

The other option I figure is drilling a hole in the dash like this:

It looks alright but I wonder about the quality...

As for the GPS antenna I wanted to get a shark fin antenna that was AM/FM/GPS but couldn't find them actually available. Does anyone have experience with these or is there a better place to put the one it came with other than just setting it on the dash?
