Default blown fuse/short circuit?

So I unplugging my radar detector to plug in my cell charger, and the end of the radar plug came unscrewed leaving all the little pieces inside the socket to the cigarette lighter socket, and when I was trying to get the pieces out some metal touched the contact in the back of the socket causing my aftermarket radio to turn off. Now my radio wont turn on at all.

you have likely blown the fuse common to the headunit and accessory outlet.
In an AP1 it's #9 in the under-dash fuse box. Note that there's a 2nd
fuse to the headunit - #22, but it's unlikely you blew that one as it's not
connected to the outlet.
In an AP2 like yours, the fuse numbers may be different.

you can definitely get one from a parts store, just make sure you
get the same style/amperage.
There may be a couple of spare fuses in the fuse box itself already.
