it is a mtx with alpine HU. I think I may have not wired the remote properly (that is the blue wire right?).

Haha okay, maybe I should have gotten it installed by pros and I will step away from the car.

do you own a multimeter? we could take some measurements to see what's going on...

it doesn't sound wired right, check that you've wired the harness on the HU to the Honda harness correctly... also be sure that you've got the right wire (turn on lead / power antenna) run to the amp. if you can, take some pics of the harness and post them.
