I installed a new CD player in my 1995 Chevy Cavalier. I bought the connector kit for it and wired the wires from new CD player to the connector kit, and just plugged it in to the old connector that was already in the car (the one that was plugged in to the original stereo). However, the old stereo had the ground wire in with the speakerand power plug, but my new stereo did not. It had a seperate wire for the ground. The black wire on my connection kit said to connect the ground of the stereo to this wire, yet the stereo instructions said to ground the black wire directly to the metal body of the car....
Did I connect the ground right by running the ground wire from the setereo and spliced it to the black wire on the connector kit?

Relax, you're fine. All manuals say to ground the unit directly to metal, its pretty standard and makes their life easier to say that. If you used the original radio ground from the harness its electrically the same thing as going to a metal ground. Not all car harnesses have a ground in them, so as an alternative, you can go straight to metal.
