Default XSVI-2004 - missing wires?? C5

I purchased a XSVI-2004 for my 2003 Chevy Corvette. The instruction sheet says that the BLUE wire is for the Power Antenna and the ORANGE/WHITE wire is for the dimmer. The unit I have does not have either of these wires. All the other wires are accounted for and there are no "extras" What is the solution/proper wiring diagram. My instruction sheet is the same as the web site (rev 02/27/08)

Neither of those wires exist in the stock harness that the xsvi connects to, all you need to do is hook up the wires that are there.

Markcz - Thanks, Youdaman!
I thought that I had better ask before I started soldering. FWIW, the previous post is what I sent to Metra.

PS I'm still planning on using the 5V adaptor for the antenna booster--can't hurt

I get my Metra XSVI-2004 today, and instal it right away.
And it´s working


Only problem now is antenna...
Of course I buy also antenna-adapter, but my new radio can not find any signal

I try to find reason tomorrow.

I connect power antenna wire (dark green) from original harness to my new radios motor-antenna wire (blue). Is this correct?
