Defi Control Unit II Install HELP!

I'm wiring the control unit and I have the center console apart, but which wiring goes where? If you could just tell me what color goes to what color that would be awesome. I tried evomoto's install, but it seems no longer available. Someone please help I would like to put my car back together.

Do you have an aftermarket radio installed? If you do, you can get away with an easy install. I connected my controller to the aftermarket radio harness. The constant power, switch power, and dimmer connections were labeled well. I'm not sure how the other guys have them hooked up.

Cool I'll check it out. You know what colors? I know the illumination wasn't connected.

nm I figured it out. I spliced into the yellow wire on the aftermarket harness. Constant power to keep records and memory for the defi control unit if anyone needs to know.

White is ilumination right? I think I use the green wire with the white stripe going to the cig lighter. Then I used the brown wire for AC power and used the radio harness for constant power. The ground to a suitable spot.

-thats what i used for illumination. i grounded to black wire off the cig lighter, and red wire off the cig for switched power. for constant power i tapped into the red w/ black strip off the ecu harness. only problem i have is that the gauge light doesn't dim. did you experience the same?
