This adapter does make for an easy, reliable connection for power and speakers. However, the Orange – Dash Light Dimmer/Illumination wire is connected, but NOT dimming the player. This could be the result of the head unit or vehicle, but it's frustratingly bright ALWAYS.

With a little research you'll find out that this harness can be attached to the head unit outside the vehicle. Then the installation becomes an almost simple swap.
I verified the wires/colors are a match, some were not, but easy enough to get passed it. Then soldered all wires appropriately and secured them with heatshrinkable tube and a few zip ties. Made it look like a professional install, not that it matters since it's hidden in the dash. Took the old unit out and the new one in.

As a note: If you add someting like steering wheel controls you can or need to use more wires out of this harnes. Do some research. I would buy one of these again if I need to, they are real time savers.

I have installed high end car stereos in my cars since I was a teenager decades ago, but have never used a pre-wired compatible connector before (probably because they didnt exist). Sonic supplied this with my purchase of a Jensen VM9022HD receiver and it is terrific. Not only does it save installation time and your back (splicing under the dash wiring), but if you decide to convert your vehicle back to the original equipment, it's clean, quick and easy. Highly recommended, wish I tried it many years ago.
