Hi all.

Now that my CD changer is fitted and working I wonder if I've done the right thing.

I've run the cable from the head unit to the boot across the passenger footwell (behind the glovebox) and down under the left side cabin trim (floor level).
Also have fixed the ground/earth wire in the boot on the left side near the wheel arch.

Sound seems good but will it deteriorate?

Any comments?

Thanks, Guy.

if you have run it under the trim it wil be fine the outer casing is pretty tough

Was thinking about the ground connection.
Perhaps I'm just worrying over nothing.
