I am going to be installing a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 in my 2003 Tahoe. From what I understand, the Tahoe does not have an illumination wire in the factory harness. Does anyone have an idea of where I can easily get a 12V source when the headlights are on that will allow my Z1 to properly dim/go into night mode? I have also heard that I can find a VSS wire piggyback in the factory harness (green wire).. can anyone confirm this? Also, any other non-standard wires/locations I should be aware of? Thanks!

I can't seem to locate the dimmer/illum wire. Which harness is it in?
