Red wire behind the ignition switch. What's more is that I was looking for an illumination switch too, which is also there (Orange wire)

Thanks very much!!

The wording on that page is misleading. They were referring to their wiring that they added when they said "Red = Key-In Accessory, Orange = Illumination".

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).
