Battery discharge and static

I installed this in a 2014 Ford Transit Connect van. When others found here a box that interprets canbus for connection to radio the battery drained fast enough to kill the battery in 2 days parked on a new battery. It also oddly added a lot of static noise to the speakers. At volume 4 on my Alpine unit, the static white noise was louder than the music. Since I have a base van with no timing and don't care about speed, reverse, park wire or factory auxiliary power, I just plugged in extra voltage from the fuse. box under the dash and just used the connector from that kit to make my own connector adapter for the Ford wiring harness. Works great now
