Hard to believe a new radio broke the ignition cylinder or the ignition switch... do these cars have an ignition switch?. Anyway, even if you left the ignition on to supply power during radio installation, it should still be OK. Not sure what to say. Hope other will chime in. Good luck.

This thing about the key being hard to turn, is that new?

i have had the car for about 6 months and key was hard to turn when i bought it . dont know if radio install has anything to do with the no start may be just a coinsadence . have to turn key way far forward to start . dont seem normal to me . would like know how check lock cylinder and ign or how to bypass thanks
You could start by pulling it and see if the Effort in turning of the key goes away. and with the switch in hand do some testing.
If there a problem with the Ignition Cylinder and the slide rod it to is Cheap again about 15/20 Dollars being a Non-Vat's System

There is a Ignition switch on the lower Steering Colume that is your main Power Distribution source, If is gummed up/Burned out could be your High Effort Luckily they are cheap and common at parts store.
