Sounds like someone shorted the wires...you need to look into the entire butcher job and see what wires were touched. Disconnect everything the butcher did and then see if your battery is still drainning power.
You folks never learn, you can't use just any aftermarket sound system in these newer vehicles. The electronics are all networked together. I have no idea what you have damaged.
The jump should not have affected your radio, other than to blow the fuse. As it did not do that your problem is something else. I suggest either a radio buff or an Auto-electrician, once it gets beyond basic wiring it is out of my league. The only way you will know, is to take it apart, but to find the buggered part has always beaten me. Use a multi-meter and you should get lucky. Good Luck.
I believe the Kia has 2 fuses for the radio, one in the cabin, and one in the engine compartment. Check them both. If they are good, your radio is toast.
You may have blown the fuse in the fuseholder for the radio power when jumping. Follow any wiores that come off the battery terminals and trace them to a fuse. Check that fuse and replace if needed. Also check fuse on back of radio.
