    Dear Priusfans!

    I am currently installing a new Navigation Android based HU to my Prius 2010.
    So far I was able to resolve many issues so far, but one:

    There is a "Illumination signal wire" for the Buttons on the HeadUnit and I have no idea where I could connect it!
    • ILLUMINATION - Illumination signal when you turn your headlights on

    Does anybody here have an idea?
    It would be great if the lights would come up as soon as the headlights come up, or at least when the ignition starts.

    Thank you very much!

    Are you referring to the "dimming" wire? The one that dims the dash/radio lights when the headlights are on?

    Thank You so much Joseph!!!
    Do you know, where I can find the connector? Or is it right behind the dash?
    Going to wire it right after breakfast :)
