Default Headunit Help

Just go my Pioneer Premier Headunit in mail and planning to install this weekend. Is there a wire for Illumination in the C5 or should I wire 12V+, ACC, and Illumination all to the same wire?

also, if you wire your +12 V and ACC to the same wire, your headunit will not "remember" your radio station settings, EQ settings, etc. I too would leave the illumination out.

Where should I connect ACC to then? I am not getting any signal to the wiring harness to ACC. It appears as though I have to by pass it. Does ACC goe though the BCM?

I think it is the same place everyone gets the V1 power wire from. Check the tech tips for Hardwire V1.
