If this is a stock unit you will need to run the illumination wire to it.

Im not sure how you wiried it if your car is not a Ford...

But I would find the pin out for the illumination wire on the vehicle side and send it to the illumination pin on the radio side. You can give it a switched 12V for maximum brightness at all times...

Like I said Im not sure how you have it wired up. The car its in or anything.

Its probably the hue colored wire though :bigwink:

Find the pin out for illumination and put a DMM on it to check for voltage when you adjust the light dimmer. That should tell you if you need a low voltage or the 12 V for the illum wire.
