    reception will mainly depend on your antenna, the only difference the grounding location will make is engine and alternator interference and buzzing noises through your speakers. with a new head deck, i suggest grounding to a new location on your chassis and make the wiring as short as possible. you could consider a fm radio expander as well if the problem doesnt go away

    So what you are actually saying is that you bought a new head unit and it's p.....g you off. NOT that the VZ radio is actually the problem. Why not make it clear and say it as it is when you post. To do otherwise makes you sound as if you are just ignorant.

    if u got a amp in the boot, if u got the power cables and rca's down the same side of the car that'll effect everything sound wise........... if it's just the radio for the headunit......... as long as u got the converter plug etc.......... then it should be ok. it is a little crappy, suggestions would be to sheild everything........

    Heatshrink, electrical table the radio plug etc......... also (since I've changed my headunit 3 times) some head units are just crap.........

    Yeh, you have to get a euro adapter for the antenna. Ive heard a few people having problems with the vz's and reception, myself included, i havent tested how to fix it coz i hardly listen to radion. What bigdaddycool has suggested would be a good starting point
