Default Radio Not Working...or Dead?

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, I've been searching to no avail for problems similar to mine. Recently I tried installing a bluetooth device on my 2002 Land Rover Discovery. I was given a connection kit and the direction was simply remove the blue 10-pin connector on the back of the head unit and replace with the kit connector for the bluetooth device. This is was I did. Once I connected the blue too the radio went berserk and would not turn off and none of the buttons worked (couldn't turn it off, volume, or change the station). So, I disconnected the battery because I needed to turn the radio off. Ever since then the radio has stopped working. The lights on the unit turn on (i.e., the buttons light up but the screen does not). Is there anything i can do to save this unit or is it dead?

Revert everything done to original condition and retry. There is an anti-theft feature that perhaps needs to be addressed for the radio to work again.
