This is the factory location for the microphone I believe...

I cant vouch for its performance though. I would bet the ascetics of the dashboard were more important than the microphone performance of the nav option.

I tried that location and the microphone from my Pioneer navigation unit would not fit. The part in the middle that holds the microphone is too narrow. I also read some posts that indicated that it was not the best location if you wanted people to understand what you said when you spoke.

I eventually put my microphone in the center of the steering column below the gauges.

I was told that the area circled used by the Bose system to help control the sound in the cabin.

you were told wrong
If you had a factory cell phone, that is where the microphone goes
