I had a friend try to replace my radio and when he plugged it in it must have blown a fuse because now the automatic lock/alarm doesn't work nor does the radio work. I don't have the owners manual so I can't figure out which fuse is blown to replace it.

sound like dead battery.no power to fuses if battery dead use digital voltmeter check battery volts should 12.6 volts if not have battery charged tested.if battery 4 or 5 years old battery could be faulty.
Check the fuse , if it is blown, the radio won't work. The fuse box diagram is in your owners manual. It will also tell you what size fuse the radio requires.
Try disconnecting the negative bbattery cable for 5 minutes to reset the system control module, if that doesn't do it you will need the dealer to look at this.
Yup, changing the fuses (or a fuse, for that matter) might work. That sounds like the effect a blown fuse would have. I'd also replace the phone charger, on general principle.
If you follow the positive cable (right at the post in most cases) there is a 50 amp fuse. You may have blown that fuse whicgh is common when changing the battery unless you remove it. Connecting the positive cable first when installing the battery helps prevent this. Also there are several other fuses that you may have blown which connect to the theft system going to the body control module which will prevent the vehicle from stating. If the fuse on the posive cable isn't blown (which I bet it is) in the fuse panel in the vehicle check fuse number 3, 4 , & 19 . See layout diagram below. Also in the fuse panel in the engine comapartment you can check fuse number J and 25 . See layout diagram below. I hope this helps and good luck.
Same problem with an '03 Golf--remote entry, power windows, and interior lights stopped working. This was easily fixed by replacing fuse #14, (10 amp), located in the driver's side fuse block.
