Best Answer

No. There is no illumination, speed or retained accesory power in the factory radio. It is accomplished with car's CANbus communication. To hookup illumination wire on 2006 VW Jetta, tap into white/black wire at the light switch. It dims your lights on your radio. You can also set up different color for day and night.

Why is there no lights working inside the car?

your inner elctrics are not workin you need to take it to a car electrician and get new lights put in Depending on the vehicle, many vehicles have a switch that overrides the interior light feature, That override switch may be turn on. Check your drivers manual. If it is the dash illumination lights that are out, there is a dimmer switch for that feature also. That dimmer switch may be turned down all the way. If all else fails, check the fuses.
