Ok I emailed metra, since I am using the Metra TOYO-01 harness. This is what they said:
"What you will have to do is take that wire straight to either your dash dimmer inside the car, or to one of your taillight wires as Toyota
does not use illumination on their vehicles, they use dimmer, positive and negative. You need a wire that will show twelve DC when the lights
are on, dimmed or not dimmed. You must use a digital multimeter when doing this as you can damage your dash light dimmer. Highly recommended to have a professional do this for you, and make sure they have insurance in case they damage the car."
Any suggestion on what to do??

Ok, well I taped into the illumination wire on the AVN6600 wire harness. Now I was looking at the wires going to the taillight and there are five
of them. Which one do I tap into.
Red/Orange wire
White/Black wire
Green wire
Purple/Yellow wire
Green/Yellow wire
Any other spots I can tap into?

Why would you have to do that? Every car i installed systems into had a orange wire that was for ILL.
