I know for a fact that the majority of aftermarket mics are junk.

Yes, there was a need. There wasn't a single place where the info should be and there were numerous threads on the tipic where people were asking the same question. I wanted to link them to the same 2 places.
There's no need to post "how" to connect left and right channels for a mic. It's a mic and audio doesn't need to balance for a mic. So even if they are reversed, it will not make a difference. If a mono mic is used, then it certainly won't matter. If the channels are reversed and you want them correct, which you won't know unless you balance the audio during a phone call, swap the wires over before placing the unit back...problem solved...it isn't rocket science. The biggest thing I wanted to get across was the change in color of the ground wire; other than that, nothing else matters.
I didn't take pics every step of the way and I'm not pulling it back out until next week when I have time.

All mics aren't created equal and by no means is the Pioneer mic the absolute best on the market. My purpose was not to start a debate about which mic was the best. There are numerous threads of people having issues with their factory mic, this is a solution. The same is true of aftermarket mics, this is a solution. Threads exist about the placement of aftermarket mics with an aftermarket headunit, this is a solution.
If you don't like what I'm posting or feel it is unnecessary, tell a moderator. I posted this at the request of forum members, not to appease you in particular.
