    Between crimp connectors and some unused plugs, I ended up with a bunch of rattles behind a new head unit. Fine on smoth roads, but pretty annoying on anything rough. I bought some tesa tape on Amazon, wrapped all the harnesses, and used it to line a few areas where the head unit and dash contacted each other... seems to have solved it. Tesa tape is the same stuff most Euro vehicle manufacturers use to wrap their wires, fwiw.

    We'll see how it holds up.
