Blown up a car radio headunit by accident

[webbyreturns]

I was getting a buzzing feed back over the speakers due to bad grounding wire coming from the aerial whenever I switched on my headlights, I traced the problem to a bad grounding wire coming from the cars aerial. I re-routed the ground wire from the aerials booster box to the radios negative wire, but the wire touched the + connection for a moment and the stereo went BANG. I replaced the fuse but didn't expect much since this surge of power went in through the aerial socket NOT the main power socket of the headunit itself. Right now the unit comes on, but none of the functions or volume is working. It doesn't detect the ipod, the USB, the SD card, or CD's DVD's etc. you can access the menu but not much more.
