Have you checked the fuse(s)? Here's a link to the shop manual. Even if it doesn't cover the '08 specifically, the wiring hasn't changed too much. You'll need to dig your way down to the wiring diagrams.

thanks nuke for the information. i followed the link and checked the fuses and they seemed fine. but when i was turning my key to power the was a clicking noise coming from the fuses on the kick panel compartment. is something shorting out?

The clicking noises are just your relays operating inside the fuse panel. Normal condition. With it being an 08, I'd take it back to the dealer and have them fix it under warrenty

There are more than one fuse for the stereo.
Did you check them all?
Owners Manual for the fuse #s and location (SJB/BEC).
