Since the car was improperly jump started, that's entirely possible.
Considering that you could have also fried the ECU or other critical
electronic components, a dead radio seems like a pretty inexpensive
lesson in the overall scheme of things. Look at the bright side, it
gives you an excuse to put in a better aftermarket unit. Sound like time
to go to crutchfield.com to me!
Before you junk the radio, pull it out and test the power leads coming
into it to make sure you're getting power to the radio. If not, check
for an inline fuse near the connector (there probably isn't one). If the
fuse at the fuse panel is good, you may have burned wiring somewhere?
Did you smell anything nasty when you mis-jumped the car?
You could also try connecting the radio directly to a 12VDC power supply
or battery, if you have one, to see if it works outside the car.

Hyundaitech To The Rescue
Once again Hyundaitech saves the day!
In email he advised that the problem was most likely that the fuse on
the radio was blown and he was right.
Cost me $90 Cdn to fix it but's summer and I have music again!
All in all it was a $200 mistake. I'm pretty sure it wasn't me who
reversed the cables but I will certainly be far more careful in the
future.
I also picked up a pretty sweet Hyundai flashlight kit for like $7.
Thanks everyone for your assistance!

I wish I was that easy to make happy. If I had dropped 200 bucks for a
fuse, I would look like I had been sucking a pickle. :-*
Ya, its good to have a tech on the forum. HT is priceless.

The flashlight kit did make me feel better. Like finally I wasn't the
one getting screwed.

Yes, that is ridiculous. I would argue with them, or go to another Hyundai
shop and tell them it just stopped working!
