HELP dice install gone bad

Well my dice came in today and after about an hour trying to go to the back of the radio I got it in. Now first off, I don't have any more display on the spedo screen. and the kit had 2 large connectors, I got the one that goes into the radio, but where the heck does the other one go? For the screen could I have just popped a fuze? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update, i checked all the fuzes and they are all good... looking at the stock connector there are a few differences from the Dice. there are two little round thingies on the stock in the lower left that look like they mate up with something on the radio side, and they are not on the dice. can i switch them over from the stock to the dice? does ANYBODY have any helpful suggestions?

Yeah, just got off the phone with Tom @EAS, and even though i called to confirm that it would work with my r56 before i ordered it, it does in fact not work with the r56. no worries just going to return it and look for another solution.
