Help with double din install/ ground wire?

I'm about to install a double din in my 2011 Maxima! Does the car wire harness have a ground wire, or do you have to run a ground wire to the chassis? Any help would be great!

Make a new ground, its as simple as finding a bolt and unscrewing the nut that is on top of it. There are quite a few behind the dash and and glove box. If there is any paint where the ground will be done, scrape or dremel that area so that it's clean.

Run the ground to chassis. That's how I did mine, even with the harness ordered from crutchfield. I think most aftermarket stereos recommend you do this anyway.

Thanks guys! Installed the double din. Wow is it awesome. The gps is even nice. Thought it might not be as nice as my garmin gps I had. I have a Clarion nx602 double din btw.
