wpoll will become famous soon enough
The factory antenna needs power (it has an RF amp, called a diversity module), which WAS provided by the factory head unit. You may need to locate the power feed to the factory antenna and connect it to a power source to get it work correctly. There should be an antenna power feed from the new headunit.

Other have done this - I'll try to find the threads..
