on all my installs i run the ground wire to a designated area unless the harness has one built into it. if its possible try to find somewhere on the floor pan and scuff the paint and use a self-tapping screw or nut/washers/bolt. those bracket gounds are fine for factory systems but can cause interference in the new HU.
