Swap to RCA's
So just to clarify, I cut the GND cable from the harness and ground it to the metal chassis? instead of it going into the factory harness?

I ordered some dual shielded RCA. In the mean time, I will try the cheap RCA's I have lying around.

Yep, nissan's don't have a factory ground the adapter harness you bought with the black wire is only for Subaru

I am using the included joying harness. It has a GND cable here. Are you saying when this harness connect to the factory harness. It goes no where? if so why the HU still works?



But thank you for answering all my questions.
