[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7772105, member: 541144"] 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. [/QUOTE]
