that left a blue wire and a black wire with a headphone jack. do I need those hooked up?

Blue wire: +12 volts to power antenna, or to antenna signal amplifier, if you have either one of those. It will only supply the 12 volts when the radio is active. Maximum current draw on that line should not exceed 1a if I recall correctly.

Black headphone jack: Only useful if you have a Sony RM-X2S or RM-X4S wired joystick remote controller. Otherwise not used.

right now when I hit source to auxillary it sits at "waiting" at the top left with a pause symbol far right middle of the screen.

Auxiliary is not the tuner, that's the aux input, that's something different.

There should be a very specific source option for Tuner or Radio or something. If there isn't, then the tuner module is somehow malfunctioning or there is some kind of wiring error similar to this or this.
