straight to the battery hot side.
Check for noise using iPod or USB not radio.

NOTE this wiring will cause the radio to be on all the time. That's fine remember we're just testing.

If you still hear the noise try running a groud directly from the chassis on you new radio to ground.
Thanks. I've tried all of these things except connecting both power wires together and running power directly from the battery. Could the factory power leads be causing the noise? I will certainly give that a try if the new head unit and new harness don't solve this.
