Well it's obvious your friend fucked up the wiring when he put it in.

Your only real choice is to pull it apart and see if you can figure out where he fucked up

Pretty much. On most newer units there is an Orange wire that is for illumination. Possibly a place to start.

Stop.

Dont touch anything.

Dont even fucking look at it.

Go here ---> http://www.greatlakesxj.com/tech.html

Download the fucking Factory Service Manual for your year XJ.

Print the entire fucking thing off.

Read it.

Memorize it.

Before you fuck something else up.

Probably hooked up the wrong illumination wire to the head unit. Should be an easy fix if you find someone who knows how to install a head unit properly.

That would be my guess as well but if he didnt watch his friend do it he might make it worse.
