Yep, and if you can find a Z1 or a Z2, you can easily upgrade it (software wise) to a Z3 very easily. I've done that with my Z2. :)

Well, I do have mine wired to match my head unit. But I'm not sure which wire it is. I had it installed by an installer and they found the wire(s) to connect so it would auto dim with the dash lights.

Spend a few dollars and buy a wiring harness. The wires are labeled for each function (yes, including the dimmer) and then it will just plug into the factory plug. I installed a Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD and several accessories... really simple. Even if you buy used you can get the Pioneer installation guides and manuals from the Pioneer website.

I am finally getting around to doing things to my truck while I am motivated. Recently I did the tune, dpf/cat, cai, and egr delete.

I have had a pioneer head unit since I bought my truck back June of 2007.. I did buy the adapter plug, steering wheel control back then but the wires did not match up. The truck was still too new I guess. I will research some more and test wires to get it to work.

I figured someone might know which colored wire.
