Actually, I know a lot of people who remote mount the head on the dash of 
their car with the main unit under the seat, and just keep the mic plugged 
in to the main unit. that works out because you can hang the mic somewhere 
not on the dash or put it under the seat and take the control head with you 
and not have to worry about the mic too. I know a few people who do things 
like that though for your setup that probably might not work out.
