Check the fuses before doing anything else. If they are all fine, you probably need to hook up the ignition wire as well to the head unit.

Check every fuse on the main fuse panel, specifically the radio fuse.

try running another ground or +12 and see. or use a meter to figure it out. no other way to tell. that should have just blew a fuse though. i have 2 fuse boxes in my car, one in the car and one under the hood. sure you don't have more someplace else??
