anyone know what i can do to make this work out?

Mine has been buried under my trunk carpet for months now.. i have had no problems at all.

sounds good then. I noticed that there seems to be two grounds on the device. How did you hook yours up? specifically, what did you do with the connection that has the ground symbol on it?
