ZEN Frequently Asked Questions 1) PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, verify that the grounding point for your equipment does not have equal to or more than 1 ohm between the grounding point and the battery negative terminal. NAV-TV recommends that the ZEN shares ground and power with the rest of the aftermarket components. 2) If you are having any audio bleed over, handfree echo or other issues and you are using a third party DSP, bypass the DSP and see if the issues continue.
