Default forced to upgrade radio

I did something I regret doing. I took my car to a non-Mazda dealership for overheating. That garage had my car for two weeks and blew up the stock radio. I left because I didn't want them working on my car anymore-bad vibes. Anyway, when I got home, I popped the hood and found the fuse box open with a blue fuse on the lid. I also found a blown radio fuse underneath the dashboard. Eventually, I replaced the radio with a new head unit, which still doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be going on?

There are two separate Audio fuses. Check both.

Both the head unit bezel and head unit look like they're going to fall out. Doesn't look OEM at all, would be a target to thieves, and the break-in damage would be a lot more $$ than the head unit is worth. Went with an Eonon GA9251B. Looks and fits like it's OEM, retained all my factory features/functions including the OEM LCD + MPG calculator, and of course has large *****.
