Joying radio and HK amp static sound and alternator whine

It's hard to tell what connections you have made, and it looks like someone has chopped up your wiring harness.
Can you confirm that you have connected the "Amp Cont" wire from the back of the radio (should be orange, with an inline fuse) to the wire going to pin 5 of the gray connector?. Pin 5 has a red and blue wire going to it. I think that there is no wire going from that pin to the radio in the radio harness.

In both videos it doesn't sound like ground loop noise. When turning on consumers in the car (dome lights, headlights or ECU), the noise is gone, which is weird. It looks more like a problem with the unit, but check first if the head unit is properly grounded. Also, is the housing of the head unit connected to ground on the connector?

‘amp cont’ is connected to the red/blue cable as you mentioned...

i’ve added a extra ground cable from de cable adapter to the same ground point the radio allready used, no difference.
i’ve grounded all 4 rca connectors to the radio housing ( red about on the internet), made no difference.
have not yet tried to ground the radio housing, will try that tomorrow and let you know.
could the dsp amp in this specific radio be the problem?
i don’t have another headunit at the moment to find out if the headunit itself is the problem..
thought it would be an easy job when i started, haha!

That looks almost identical to the diagram for my unit, except for the 4G antenna connections.
I suspect that your problems may be with some of the butchered wiring, or possibly the amplifier. But try running a ground wire from the radio chassis to the metal dashboard frame just in case. Reliable ground wiring is important in a Discovery.
