I said nothing about soldering, I don't solder(only factory cut wires). You don't work at a shop I take it... you see enough units come in from other places where the connections have came loose, they cut thru the wires, most the time they leave bare wire exposed. At our shop it is... strip haf inch to an inch of coating off the wire... poke an eyelet... feed wire thru and wrap back around... and tape. When you're doing 5-10 remote starts a day(just me not counting other installers) in the winter you don't want them coming back, you lose money that way. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.
