Ham Radio Install 2018 Subaru Forester

Dropped by my dealership and head tech went out to my car and explained exactly where to connect what to avoid issues...it matched Alan's examples but it was good to actually see the physical connection points. Not the most 'OCD" install but it will work...checkout in next couple of days..but power is in for two different feeds. There was only three feeds on the positive side 1. Starter 2. Sensor 3. Fusebox. There where two on the negative side 1. Chassis Ground 2. ELD Sensor (Electrical Load Detector). On my 2018 Forester you cannot access the actual physical chassis ground side of that sensor (it is encased within aluminum tubing), but the main chassis ground that I used will do with no ill effects...that is according to Subaru's Head Tech...good enough for me.
