Your antenna was ungrounded? What does that mean?

Yeah, the antenna is NOT a ground. The head unit is grounded via the black wire coming out of the wiring harness.

Hook up the black ground wire to a clean tight area on the chassis and see if that works.

If not, it's possible you could have fried something in the head unit, with the remote wire being one of the possibilities, unfortunately.
