1998 w210 head unit replacement problems

Installed a kenwood deck in my W210 BOSE and when the stereo is on there is a slight static being played through the speakers.

I have no radio antenna so its not am/fm making it.
Static doesnt increase when volume is turned up with music playing off my phone
Grounded the deck to the engine bay and still makes the noise.

I have no idea wtf is the problem, I looked over the wiring diagram 20 times and it is all correct.

Anyone have suggestions?
