I grounded it to one of the 4 bolts in the transmission boot area, but barely on the end of the fork. It was hard to get the bolt tightened with that grounding fork on there and there was a great place to ground next to the toggle switch but the cable just wasn't long enough. Just a small suggestion, I really appreciate you providing that extra piece.

1. There's a black box on the kit which I'm guessing is a relay. It's not that big but finding a place for it behind the head unit can be tricky. There's a place behind the start button wire or the airbag wire it can easily fit. This really helped getting the head unit back in place properly.
