Thumbs up Had car jumped.... now radio does not work.

Hello! So today on my way to work I ran out of gas. But the problem is that while waiting on AAA to show up with gas I sat there and let me radio drain my battery. I had my car jumped and was on my way. But now i have ZERO power to my radio. I am not even getting a message on the screen that says "locked". It is factory sterio and this is the first prolem I have had. What is causing it and how do I fix it? (I have a 2007). Any help will be welcomed. Thanks.

that's a good one? are you only using the steering wheel controls? Did you try turning the radio on with the actual radio button? hmmm, sorry, wish I could help more?

check your fuses, than check your relays. i blew the start relay while jumping once, i think theirs a relay in that box for the aux powers too.

i meant the relay was for the general dash power, i think they break it up in the fuse box but i think they have 1 relay for the dash power.

Did you leave the radio on when it was being jumped?
This is what it says in the manual (page 5-48)
Notice: If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
