For that reason alone, I use Compustar stuff (Scosche currently). I agree on all the locking killswitch/proper underdash and loomed install stuff though. Good info.

Im writing this on the fly. I use DEI stuff and have never had issues. Compustar is also a good brand.

I fixed my remote issues by relocating my units ground to a more solid ground, and placing my transmitter in a more optimal place.

Ive also been told all grounds should lead to the same ground point.

That's a great idea! I think I'm actually gonna do this, because my door actuators don't work right now I guess the only issue would be weather sealing it, because that part of the door/quarterpanel isn't sealed. I'm definitely going to look into this, thanks Russ!

I've done this, but usually because I don't like a lot of the grounding points around the tunnel. I welded a M6 bolt up-side down on the tunnel towards the firewall when I was seam welding the passenger compartment, and use ring terminals and a lock nut for grounds... keeps everything nice and short, and all grounded to the same place.

The door is sealed to the body, just drill before the weatherstrip. Open the door and you'll see what I mean. Even a bit of intrusion is alright, both places have drains anyway.
