where's a good ground in back?
in the back there really isn't a good ground point that I saw. I drilled a small hole and put a screw in it in the back panel under the carpet cover
yes there is good spots in the trunk to put a ground. Just out of sight under the carpet there is a steel plate that covers the gastank and is bolted on. use any one of those bolt locations along the bottom. Will provide a ground without drilling any holes. I will try and find a pic explaining where I am talking about and edit this post with a pic
Edit: I found a pic which shows where existing bolts are. Under the carpet where circled is bolt locations thats where I have mine. the little circles shows bolts in the pic that could possiable be used

If you have a roadster I have no idea because I have never been in the trunk of one
You could draw a ground cable parallel to the plus cable from the battery to the trunk.
I've done that in former times in a predecessor of my xf, because i've had big problems with hum and ground loops.
I know it's more expensive, but it's the safe way.
BTW: What is the exact problem? Maybe there are other causes.
Did you check the mass connection between battery and chassis?
Did you add a mass cable with the same diameter than you're using for plus between battery and chassis?
