It sounds like you need to relocate the ground wire. Did you ground it by the seats? Find a big bolt on the floor, take it out, remove the paint to bare metal, install a ground lug reinstall the bolt and dab some paint over the exposed metal to prevent rust. You may also need a bigger and/or shorter ground wire. Amps are very sensitive to ground noise. If posible do not ground it by the seats. What size is the amp and what size power and ground wire do you have? Hope this helps as always a pic of the wiring and install makes it better to trouble shoot.

I have the same thing. My ground wire is under the back seat. This is not my first time doing a ground wire for install of a stereo system so I am sure it is fine. I have put them in for 20 years. First time I have had a buzzing sound for heated seats though. I am going to wait until spring to check it out though.

Did you keep the factory stereo? I did. This is my set up

Stock DVD Nav.
Alpine PDX 4 channel amp
Alpine PDX mono amp
Audio Control LC6i Line Out converter
2 Boston 10" subwoofers
Alpine SPR-17S components speakers

If you figure it out, let me know
