Need help ASAP (I'm in the middle of the install)

I just got an 02 Mustang, and I got my reciever all ready to go. But I noticed there is no factory ground wire to connect to the harness. Where should I put it? Theres not many options for a screw down. The best I could do is strip and coil it, then use some electrical tape and wrap it around a small metal piece.

You mean no ground coming from the car harness or the cd player? There has to be a ground somewhere on that harness. Its prob going straight into the harness clip. You could always cut it and hook it direct to your cd player ground. I've seen a lot of cars that have the ground coming out with a medium size ring terminal on the end. I just electrica tape the cd player ground to it. As mentioned above, if you find somewhere else to ground it, make sure you scrap the paint off where its connected. Auto paint will prevent the connection.
