Aftermarket Headunit Wire Rattling

Hey guys, just wanted to share something that I've never seen mentioned in any kind of DIY guide for replacing your headunit with an aftermarket unit. In my case, installing a carplay head unit, all of the additional wires and harnesses starting making terrible rattling noises after install. So I just came up with a solution that works really well and is really cheap (probably free if you have zip ties).

So basically I took out the head unit and radio, and then wrapped anything that was hard plastic with some socks (unworn) and Velcro cable ties.

I was kind of shocked how well this worked and I would definitely recommend doing something along the lines of this if you're going to be doing a headunit upgrade! Although I will say, it would be absolutely worth it to wrap as much of the cabling as you can, as I'm still hearing a little bit of noise coming from them.
