I guess I could answer this question in the morning by checking resistance between ground and the shield.

I did a Google and found a Cat5 shielded wiki page that said shields (aka drains) should be grounded to properly work, which is what I would normally think...

Just curious what you did.

While I'm thinking about it, did you splice into the ground from the harness and ground at the same spot as the amps? When I used to install car stereo's for a living, I'd run two sets of RCAs from the head back to amps. One I'd use the pigtail for remote on and hte other for grounding the head unit back at the amp. I never had an install come back for engine noise, and I'm wondering if this works wiht a factory head, harness and ground.

Uhhhhh....no. Did nothing with "drain wires." LOL
