Rizzo is on the ball with the cluster questions!!
I just put a USDM Ver.8 cluster in my car and had no probs with the radio at all. Maybe look and see what else is on the radio fuse to see if something shorted while yo had the cluster out.
Could wind up being totally unrelated, because there aren't really any wires that are exposed during the install.
Good luck

Hey! I made that!

With the 02s you have to cut a wire because the harness is different. It grounds out the radio and blows the fuse. It's not hard to do, but let's you use the radio.
