i would plug it back in or if you can, match up the power, ground, and acc aka the black red and yellow wires from the aftermarket to the OEM. (they wont be these three colors but will go to the right places. ) anyway if you jam some wires in the right spots you can get it to turn on, but without knowing which radio or car i cant help much. i suggest downloading the album via bit torrent since you own a copy still.
