Does the factory headunit on the 2006 have a dimmer capability? I mean...does it dim when you dim the dash panel lights?

I've got an Alpine HU installed and I've just realized that it doensn't dim when I dim the dash lights. I know the new HU has that ability. I'm wondering if my install guy just didn't connect the dimmer wire...??

I've looked at the wiring diagram from the service manual, and (unless I'm missing something) there doesn't seem to be a dimmer connection to the stock radio.

my 06 dims at the dash. install guy probalbly forgot

 

I have an 06 and an Alpine HU as well and it dims when you turn on the lights. I agree, install guy probably forgot.

 

Also, my truck came with the basic 4-speaker sound system. Do you guys have that or was yours the premium system?

I pulled the unit out last night, and checked all the wires. The wires in the stock connector all macth up to wires on the Alpine harness except for two (connector C1, pin 5 and 6) which are the CAN B (+) and (-) wires...they don't correspond to anything on the new harness.

I noticed that the Orange dimmer wire from the Alpine harness doens't match to anything on the stock connector.

Seriously, am I just missing something?

Teeminus, what pin is the dimmer wire from your Alpine HU connected to on the stock connector?
