What wire did you tap into? ppl/wht, gry, gry/black? The C68 wiring diagram is confusing me. If I tap in here is that going to solve my dash dimming away to nothing problem or is do I need like a resistor or something on one of the unused stereo wires?

Hi Scott, I have been trying to document the changes I've made. All I really need to finish the wiring for this project is to figure out the stereo dimmer issue, think everything else is under control. I do have an idea for a future project that might be right up your alley but have enough on my plate at the moment so maybe it'll be next winters project.

Bob, you may need a resistive voltage divider to make the new head unit match the intensity of the stock dash lights.
Do you have any paper work or schematic for the aftermarket unit?

I honestly do not rememebr Bob as I did my HU install in 2007 I just remember taping into one of those wires above. All this will solve is the dimming of your Head unit issue with the Illumination wire as you mentioned that your HU was too bright.

So this gray wire is on one of the two connectors that plug into the stock head unit... correct? The one in Jeff's pic.
