I also earthed mine with the harness and the chassis to the black brace behind the tissue holder instead of the cigarette lighter due to all the interference I have had.I found there is f@ck all room in there for 10 rca's plus harness wiring with the filter on it etc! I hope I never have to remove it again as it was a *beep* of a job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
