So I am installing a Blitzsafe UII with a PIE X3. The UII needs to be connected to a ground. I have the UII near the fuse box on top of the covering for underneath the steering column. Does anyone know a good place to put the ground wire around the fuse box? Or where is one in the fuse box? I'm not great at electrical stuff so I would rather just connect it to a screw or something rather then go splicing wires. Thanks guys.

hmmm interesting you're combining BS with P.I.E

Well I was waiting for the blitzsafe all in one that was supposed to work with XM but I got fed up waiting for them. So I got the PIE and the UII for the ipod conneciton. I have it all hooked up and the sound is great. I just need to get some power to the UII so it will charge my ipod. So any info on a good ground point would be great.

Are you going to be mounting this in the center console area?

There are a couple different ground points there.
The first one is on the 12v DC plug. If you remove the NOT an ashtray, you can tap into the ground there. The other ground is on the OEM amp. You have to check the wiring diagrams to see what wire it is, but it's definitely there. It should be a black wire, but that's just a guess.

No I won't be putting in the center consol area. Its going under the steering column near the fuse box. So I need something over there or in the fuse box?

Well you can use the ground in this pic. Do you have an 04 or 05 though? I heard with the 05 the ground bolt in this pic is a little covered up, making it more difficult to access. You might have to remove the panel. I'm not sure.

I have an 05 and I saw that spot in the fuse panel. It is rather recessed and hard to get to. Also how would I connect the wire to that since its not really a screw or bolt?
