illumination control question

[antonioelgrande]

i'm replacing the stock am/fm clarion in the 240 and it has an" illumination control" wire that activates when i turn the lights on......where do i attach this wire?? the replacement (pioneer) deck i have has no attachment for this...i'm just replacing with a standard pioneer tape deck...no amp

help pls...thanx

[ricebike]

from what i've recalled, don't use this illumination wire

reason: your aftermarket has it's own illumination circuit...

some1 else can back me up on this; i was just surfing around

Indeed, there is no need to hook up that wire.

my new pioneer head unit has an illumination wire, but i've noticed the difference is so insanely minimal that i can barely tell. am i using the right wire in the car? =/ i tested w/ voltmeter and i thought i had the right one. there are 2 orange ones, one with a white stripe and one without. only one from the head unit. hm.
