ady2k5 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Hello allApologies if this is posted in the wrong section.If i fit a UK head unit into the a japanese import car using the relevant ISO adapter, would the head unit need grounding.The existing jap head unit in the car seems to be grounded where there is a black wire going down, however if i just fit a new stereo would it still need grounding or do one of the wires in the loom (most likely black) provide sufficient grounding when it is connected?Just need to make sure as don't want anything blowing or carrying out irrelevant grounding work by having to cut wires.Many thanks Quote

Idrees Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 The original hearness is grounded, you don't need to add any more earth wires. Quote
