The standard unit has a power supply to switch on the aerial amp. On your new unit this remote wire on the wiring harness may not be connected to the remote wire on the car side. There are plenty of wiring diagrams of the stereo wire looms on line, if it's not powered you can splice the correct wires together.
You have checked the aerial connection.Sometimes depending where the unit came from it may be configured for foreign reception frequencies.
