Its difficult to see clearly if the blue and the blue w/white goto the same pin on the back of the head unit. I believe that they are usually separate; one to the amp and the other to the power antenna. The connections appear to be in proper order. My suggestions are... 1: Double check that ground connection. 2: Be sure that there is a good fuse in the main power cable that runs from the battery to the amp. (usually located near the battery) 3: Turn on head unit and check the blue remote wire for voltage. And while you have your tester near the amp, double check your + and - at the amp.

EDIT:::: Looking at the pics again, is it possible that your ground wire is screwed into a plastic nut on the backside of that bracket. Just for the hell of it..... relocate your ground.

get a better ground, and make sure remote is connected to blue/white wire. also did you check the fuse under the hood, and make sure your + wire has a good connection
