If your car had Blue and Me (B&M) then the flashing ODO is typical CanBus indicator that the B&M unit has failed (or was perhaps disconnected in your case). There are various threads on here if you have a search. I believe it can be "programmed out" using appropriate software (MES). The B&M module is under the driver's seat in the right hand drive version.

On my 2013 4x4 the radio can be turned on/off without turning the ignition key but there is a separate radio module for the Fiat OEM system behind the dash which likely controls this and the auto off via the BCM. This may relate to your power issues but I am speculating now which I don't like to do on here.

n.b. I do have a suspicion that 2018 might be a bit too young for B&M (it was superseded) to still be fitted but others will comment and you should know as you did the install!! Flashing ODO is a CanBus indicator which suggests to me a module of some sort has failed or was disconnected in the install, B&M or not.
