Setting the Dimmer
If you connect the orange wire to a wire in your car that changes state when you turn on the headlights, the scanner can
automatically dim the display when you turn on the headlights. If you have not connected the orange wire, set Dimmer to Manual and
manually select the dimmer level. If you have connected the orange wire, set Dimmer to Auto, then select “+ Polarity” if the orange
wire gets 12V when you turn on the headlights or to “- Polarity” if the orange wire is switched to chassis ground when you turn on the
headlights.
