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?

I think i'm having the same problem as you right now as I have the same exact car and just hooked up a kenwood. How did you get to the engine bay to find a ground? Also I hooked up rca ground loop noise isolators which helped but i still have constant noise when the radio is on.
