[QUOTE="AlterEgo99, post: 5981036, member: 610253"] It's preferable not to use the battery power or ground from the OEM harness as they can tend to introduce noise into the system and typically are not the best for power and ground. Definitely ground the HU directly without using the OEm harness ground. You should run a wire direct to the battery for powering the HU, but if you don't have the time right now, I'd just use the yellow power wire in the harness and splice both HU wires into it. I'm not sure your make/model HU but that should be OK. [/QUOTE]
