Antenna Switch Mod - Need a different power source
I have been waiting to do the antenna switch mod until I found a switch I liked. Finally found one that I think works well. It has a lighted indicator when enabled and a separate lighted caption.
So I know where to insert the switch since that is well documented here. And that power I can use for the indicator light.
What I need to know is where to find a good source of power that is connected to the dash lights so the button will illuminate only when lights are on and will respect the dimming as well.
Can anybody point me to such a power source?

Thanks Rothwell!.
I think I tried every possible combination to get the switch to light except the pin adjacent to the ground. I mistakenly assumed it was ground, too.
When hooking up the antenna wires, the wire from the head unit needs to go to the "plug nearest "the gap" and the plug going "to the antenna" needs to plug in the middle between of the the three plugs or the "on" light will stay on.
Amp draw of the "on light" and aerial power illumination is only .01 amps
