The orange wire is the 12V + accessory wire on the ignition switch. You can also tap fuse E1 as this is where that orange wire goes to.

You'll need to tap a different wire for dimming illumination (grey with blue stripe - can be found on instrument cluster connector if you don't have one behind the stereo).
Right! Perfect, thank you. The fuse will be easier as I'm already tapped into E8, so I just need to swap it thanks man.
