Hope that helps any. Good luck!
It sounds like a good idea. But aren't these radios grounded through the metal bracket that the radio mounts in? So are you saying just find the extra ground from the head unit and ground it on it's own?
edit: yeah makes sense now, gonna break out the multimeter and find a new ground
