Default 94 c4 radio dimmer wire

My fsm shows 3 different light control (dimmer) wires: ppl/wht-led control, gray/blk-LCD control and gray-incandescent light control.

Which should I use for the dimmer circuit on a kenwood ddx470 radio? ( if any...)

Not many C4 savy regulars in this section, C4 tech might get you a quicker reply.

If you don't get an answer, use a meter on DC volts and test each wire while adjusting the dimmer with the dash switch. You're looking for the one that varies from 0v to 5vdc with 0v at full bright and 5v being the dimmest.

Getting ready to do a radio upgrade I was wondering how you made out with your dimmer circuit. Crutchfeild is telling me to just tape it off and that it can not be used unless i run it directly to the dimming control ****.
