1998 camaro. I am wiring a new stereo dvd gps unit.I have all but three wires on the unit (eonon model 905) hooked up. I need to know what to do with the other three
1: pink wire : mute
2 orange wire - back uplight
3 brown- parking brake ground
the GM harness has the following wires not hooked up"
1 orange- dash lights
2- orange / white dimmer
Am i correct in assuming i can wire the p-brake gorund to the regular ground wire and override the e-brake?
would the pink mute wire hook up to the dimmer wire?
would the orange back up car signal wire hook up to the orang dash lights wire.
can somebody help me out?

The pink wire of the radio is probably not going to be connected. Unless of course you have an old fashioned cell phone mounted in a car kit. The cell phone has a mute output wire. It would be connected to the pink wire. But I am guessing you do not have such a phone.
The orange wire of the deck is supposed to connect to the reverse light of your vehicle. It's purpose is when you are backing your vehicle up, the display will remain oriented properly with your position. Without it connected, every time you back up, the screen of your gps unit will flip around.
The brake light wire really needs to be connected to your parking brake. It is illegal in most, if not all states, to watch video while the vehicle is in motion.
wow that was fast. thanks
one more question. what about the other two wires from the wiring harness? the dash lights and the dimmer light wires? do they need to be hooked up to anything? if they are not will my dash lights and dimmer switch still work?

also forgot one other question concerning the gps unit. i bought this stereo factory direct from hong kong but their instructions are the pits- incomplete and broken english LOL
the gps unit has audio and video out cables there are also two white wires- speaker+ and speaker- .are there only used if they are wired to speaker independant from the stereo system or do i need to connect them to my white speaker wires on the harness. seems like the rca audio and video wires would take care of the sound.
that is the only other wiring question i have for this unit. as you can tell i am a bit of a novice at this. have wired in a couple stereos in the past but nothing with all these features: am, fm, cd, dvd ,gps, bluetooth , tv tuner sub and sd card slot

You need to insulate the 2 orange wires on the harness. They feed voltage to the lighting circuit in the factory radio. Some aftermarket radios have illumination and dimmer wires. Chances are this radio does not have these wires.
Do not connect the white wires with the other speaker wires. They may be for a separate, navigation only speaker. Hook the unit up without connecting that set of wires, try the navigation, if it does not prompt you before you get to an intersection, connect a speaker to that set of wires and see if it will now prompt you.
thanks again. i shouldnt have any problems installing this system now. if i do i will be sure to post more questions.!
sounds like you know what your doing- you instll stereos professionally?
