So I’ve found a few threads about the dimmer wire, but not really an answer. My harness and radio both have the wire (orange). Problem is it doesn’t work. I’m assuming the new radio is looking for a certain voltage (12v?) on that wire to know when to kick in the dim setting. I’m also assuming the car isn’t providing a high enough voltage, even on high, to satisfy whatever voltage the radio is looking for. So if I want it to work, I’ll have to wire the illumination wire from the radio to a headlight or parking light wire. Sound about right?
