There\'s a bit on grounding kits here:

QuoteHowever in July 2006, Votech contacted me directly to address some of my comments here. What wasn\'t clear from their website, but has been made clear since, is that Votech\'s target market is for local Malaysian-built cars, Korean cars (except for Kia and the Hyundai Sonata which has voltage noise suppression from the factory) and Japanese cars for the Asian market. It seems the standards of manufacture with their vehicles are so poor that the electrical systems are all over the place, and there\'s a lot of difference between Japanese cars for the west versus those for the Asian markets. What Votech are selling is basically what the Malaysian manufacturers don\'t put in their vehicles as standard but what we in the "west" take for granted. Their marketing guru told me "We advise our customers before we sell to them. Customers who driving BMW, Merc, Audi, Fiat, VW and other continental cars are advised that our product isn\'t necessary. If a customer insists they want it, then we will proceed with the installation."

So I don\'t know if that means JDM cars as well as the usual European cars... i.e. are made well enough to have that built in?

Thats interesting cheers, but im wondering if that is for new cars, mines over ten years now so the build quality would not be as good as the new cars

also wanted ot know if it would actualy cause a drain on the batt/alt ?
