Yeah mine is isolate from metal in the dash as i use a plastic adapter, ill give the new HU ground a go soon.The HU must be electrically isolated from any metal in your dash for ground relocation to have any affect. On most new cars with plastic instrument panels that's not a problem, but with older cars where the whole dash is metal it's nearly impossible. You can use the same wire and just extend it with the same gage to a "new" location. Unfortunately there's no magic to figuring out if it'll be better or worse than what you had.
Daisy-chaining remote wires would not have an affect on this.
Im just worried now as ive done some reaserch and the CDA 117 seems to cause alot of people whining noises and pops. However people say they usually get the noises only when the display is on, but mine does it display off or on.
