OUCH... try testing the JVC on a bench check to see if it still works. If it does work, then you can reinstall it after figuring out the other problems. If it's a dead duck, take it apart and look inside to find out why. (If you are handy and have the proper tools)
The pop, burn smells are likely related and it could be a filter cap in the radio power supply or even a power trace on the PC board inside the radio that fried. These will go if miswired, an internal short or drawing too much power before the fuse blows.
Yeah, I'd feel a bit ticked off too. Especially if I thought I knew what was going on, did it right and ended up with this result. MAD
