Installed a Kenwood DMX1057XR eXcelon head unit and got everything working except the dimming. From what I understand, the illumination wire in the 100 carries the rheostat dimming signal, but the head unit only switches back and forth between day mode and night mode, which is fine. What I'm wondering is if the Kenwood is not liking what I assume is a continuously variable voltage signal from the dimmer wire, rather than an off / on signal from headlights.
Anyone get a recent Kenwood head unit working with the illumination wire from the harness that feeds the OEM radio, or should I hunt up a headlight wire somewhere else?
(And if anyone has any questions about the install, feel free to ask. I should write it up, it was quite a process for a novice such as myself).
