Did you buy a wiring harness adapter for the car or just start grabbing wires?

So then somewhere in the pin switch you got something F'd up.

I'm not trying to be a dick just trying to understand what you did. We cant really guide u until we know exactly what the problem is what you've done and what you have tried to correct it.

We don't know what you changed on the pins or where the pins were or are supposed to be. We wont really be able to tell you what to change. Your remote wire should have nothing to do with the problem your having. Sounds to me like you switched the 12+ and Switched. Go back and try to figure it out not much we can really do for ya.

Get a test light, or a multimeter.

Figure out which wire is 12v constant, and which wire is 12v only when the switch is turned on. Then put those into the right wire for the radio.

Next time buy a vehicle specific wiring harness...
