Had a look around but still not sure. My dashboard dimmer only dims the gauge cluster.
I thought it should also dim the center dash lights = radio, clock & aircon.
Is this normal for '96 AU model?
About to install a new head unit with 7" screen that is dimmable & can be controlled via the ILL wire. Looks like I'll have to connect into the dimmer knob to get this function.
Unless there is a better place to splice in?
 
mines a late 95 (update) and the dimmer only dims the instrument cluster so normal
I have a Sony dbl DIN head unit in there and using an AerPro harness to Toyota adaptor it auto dims when headlights are turned on

Cool, thanks for that. I'll be using the AerPro harness, so I should be good to go without searching for the dimmer circuit.:cheers:
 
Just finished the job & you were correct, it does exactly that. Dims when head lights are on.

Also wiring the reverse back-up camera, I followed a lead on another thread & it saved some time & wire.
