I found this PIE noise filter:

I wonder if this would solve the problem? It's supposed to be for alternator feedback. It comes in different amperage versions, 5, 12, 20, etc.

"Never use the ground wire in the vehicles OEM radio harness. This wire usually makes a very poor ground due to its length, small wire gauge, close proximity to other power wires, and unknown termination point. Instead, ground the source unit directly to the chassis or firewall."
I found this on a car stereo website. I think I created a ground loop by tapping into the ground wire behind the head unit.
