Default Where should I put these?

I'm about to install my Avic z2 and I want to know where I should put some stuff. I've decided to just install the ipod adapter in the glove box cause it just makes since. the xm radio box i was thinking of putting behind the glove box too. But where should i put the GPS antenna, xm antenna, and the microphone? Let me know of some good spots. I'm already thinking the dash for the antennas but i have no clue where to put the mic. Oh and I'm thinking about the back up cam let me know where I should put it. I was thinking next to the button to open the hatch above the License plate.

GPS - A pillar or on top of the vent
Mic- maybe up in the corner of the headliner by the visor maybe?
And it maybe good to run the ipod in the center console possibly?

the cam might be able to be mounted on the inside of the hatch, but depending on if it looks ok and if u get a good picture is something to consider as well
