I've been searching everywhere for an answer without any luck and was hoping I could get some help. I decided to let a shop install it because it was free...but in the end nothing would work and I had to go in and fix it all (BT, iPod, Camera, etc.) Anyway lesson learned...but the thing is these guys snipped off the HU orange/white wire (ILL). I need to extend it but the thing is I'm not sure where I have to connect this to. What color wire is the factory illumination wire? I read somewhere that it was light blue/red. Any confirmation or correction would be greatly appreciated. I know it's more of a convenience thing to get this connected, but I can't do the bypass without it (or so I have read).

haha you just linked me to my own posting. Thanks anyway

 

I was going to say. I thought you figured this one out already and did a write-up. Great job by the way!

I'd be sold on the Z1 if I wasn't hung up on the blue buttons and lack of RDS.

Then again I'd be sold on the Kenwood if it wasn't the 5-6 million POIs versus the 11 million in the Z1 and the lack of hard drive or good IPOD interface in the Kenwood.

Gosh darn it, why can't I just find the perfect one. I mean for $2,000 it should be perfect, because I could just do the rims I want for that price. (AE 026 22"s) Can't half both.

Also noticed that you're in (or just came back) from Iraq. Just wanted to say thanks for the service. My dad was over there recently with the 10th Mtn. I'll be entering after schooling. Take care.
