Check your fuses first, could be that simple.... .

Start off with the simple stuff!

Disconnect the wire you connected!

Then, disconnected the battery and leave it for ten minutes. While you are doing this, remove the floor at the left hand side of the boot and remove the large black socket from the radio and check the little ten Amp fuse there.

Put it all back together.

Connect battery and start engine - turn steering wheel lock-to-lock both ways and go for a little drive - that might reset the trans failsafe message. Do a few miles to charge the battery - you might have run it down a bit. Is stuff working now?
