I hate to say it, but you probably should have used the proper harness adaptor for the install. I'm no expert car audio installer, but I did install my headunit, steering wheel control module, front and rear speakers, and reverse camera with the proper harnesses and had no issues. These cars are known to have BCM grounding issues, before someone hack the radio wiring. I would imagine without that harness the BCM is not seeing something that normally runs through it. I could be wrong, but that's just my 2 cents. Do things right...... or do things twice.
