Yeah, you're right. I needed to be more specific. Not all the
automotive wire has resistance, you need to check. I have seen plain
copper core stuff with no resistance (like TV wire), as well as a new
breed of coax stuff with straight copper in the middle and an RG58-like
RFI shielding layer instead of resistance to combat the interference
problem.
