definitely going to wrap it. The color looks a little bit off.

I sent an email to Metra about the buttons and the AC controls and they passed it on to their "engineers". Hopefully I'll hear back today.

Oh and I double checked the orange and orange/white wires. The orange wire has "Illumination" written on it and the orange/white has "dimmer" written on it just like Icebox said.

Where do you have the orange wire connected right now?

The instructions are incorrect. The illumination wire is an input on your head unit to have the head unit lights dim when you turn your headlights on. That signal comes from the dash harness. You would want to wire the Metra kit and your head unit to the illumination wire on the dash side of the adapter harness.

What is the color of the wire I'm supposed to attach them to?

it should be orange as well. there should be an orange wire that comes from the harness of your car that you then connect the orange wires from your hu and metra kit to.

Do I still tape off the orange/white "dimmer" wire?

Made the change and it doesn't light up. I guess it doesn't light up after all.
