Default Factory Radio

Ok, I'm 14 (15 in April) and I"m gonna start driving soon.
My dad owns a BMW shop and he decided to buy me a car on certain terms.
he bought me a 318ti its a 96 and its red.
I love it
the conditions were that I diagnose anything that breaks, and buy the parts, and replace them.
since I've been around my dads shop for about 10 years and I fix them regularly, I agreed.
I've had no problems so far.
except for the radio.
they had installed an after market radio but left the wiring harness intact.
when we bought the car they removed the radio so I got a factory radio out of a parts car and hooked it up (except for the wire on the back post of the radio because i can not locate it.)
when the key is off the anti-theft light lights up but when you turn the key it turns off and the radio does not work.
I tried running a ground wire from a ground point to the back of the radio but it did not work.
any ideas?
