Audio Systems: Display light too dim, car stereo, jetta

Question
Hi. I just installed a Monsoon car stereo (from a Passat) into my '05 Jetta so I could directly connect the iPod to the stereo. The problem is that the display light in the stereo is too dim, and it looks different from the rest of the light on the inside. Is there any way I could fix that?

Also, the car stereo won't turn on when I turn on the car. Is there any way I could fix that too?

Thank you so much.  

Answer
no way to fix the color of the lights  and the dim part is becase radios is not from the same year vehicle  you can cut the dinner wire from the back of the radio and light will be bright again

why did you change the radio ?
any volkswagen radio from 1998 to 2005 can control the ipod
