Hi All,

I have replaced the Head Unit on my 07 Altea XL TDi with a JVC double Din KW-XR811. I found great info in the forum about what parts to get and what to do so a big thanks to all the posts!!!!!.
I still have one bit of info missing. On the JVC loom and my harness adaptor, there is a feed called illumination so that the stereo lights come ON with the dash lights when the Headlights are turned on.
Where do I need to connect this feed, looking at the harness in the Seat, there doesn't seem to be a connector for it. Do I need to run another feed to the fuse box like for the Ignition Live feed?

Thanks for the help.

You need to run the feed to the rear of the head light switch, there is an illumination setting wheel on the switch panel. connet the feed to here using an aligator/scotch connector (not sure of proper name?) that clips over the wire and splices itself on the the wire.
