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.
Check fuses, check dash light dimmer switch. Do your parking lights come on when you turn them on with your head light switch. Check for power to all.If you've just installed an aftermarket stereo then this might be the solution for you: On most aftermarket stereos there's no wire connection for the Dimmer and/or Illumination (or there's a hook up for either the Illumination or Dimmer wire) and usually most people just tape them off and push them back. Well in the Chevrolet Malibu all of the Instrument Panel (to include the factory stereo) are wired together so that if one wire is disconnected it all goes out. So in order for you to get your Instrument Panel lights working again you must splice the two wires together.In laymans terms, you have to connect the Dimmer wire [Brown (not striped)] and the Illumination wire [Grey (not striped)] together. If your problem was the same as mine then this should do the trick
You connect the positive one (commonly orange/white) to your dash lights positive.
orange wire is commonly the light/dimmer switch.
I guess your talking about the dimmer it gets spliced into dash lights after switch.
Replace your Head light switch. All of these circuits run through that switch.i just had this same problem but on my '97 Chevy Malibu... if you've just installed an aftermarket stereo then this might be the solution for you: On most aftermarket stereos there's no wire connection for the Dimmer and/or Illumination (or there's a hook up for either the Illumination or Dimmer wire) and usually most people just tape them off and push them back.

The dash illumination light (dimmer) switch could be in the off position.
On my 2000 Forester, the dashboard illumination dimmer control is on the turn signal stalk. --Ken
Its EASY! just connect the (usually green) wire to the negative post on the coil. Hook up the power wires and the illumination wire and ground for the tach wire and ur done its easy!
The illumination of the dash during the daytime is at full brightness, normal. When the head lamps and such are turned on the brightness of the dash illumination is overridden by the dimmer. Turn the dimmer up. Usually rotation of the headlight knob will do the trick. Now if you have an electronic dimmer then it may have failed and will require replacement. Obviously the illumination works so the issue is the night time configuration of the lighting through the dimmer.
