Welcome to NICOclub Forums, and welcome to the j30 family.... now to address your issue...
1st, check the dimmer switch and make sure its up all the way.2nd, replace it for an aftermarket one, or a referbished one(if you wanna go with the stock headunit)
these clarion headunits are know to go bad. from what i have heard, its a matter of cold solder joints. so if ur a electronics wiz, and you wanna try, just open it up and rewet all the solder joints, and maybe add a little bit more for some good measure. but it will save time if you just replace the headunit for an aftermarket one that will do much more, like have an ipod hookup(if you have an ipod) or other audio in sources, maybe even a nav system if ya wanna drop around $500+ for a really good one. just make sure you dont cut up the factory harness, get a harness adapter, they normally run like $10 on ebay, something like that.... hope that helps ya out... enjoy your j30
