comes from the stock harness but usually main power comes from a new feed.
On mine I tapped the dimmer wire and then bundled the old connector back into
the dash.

You can buy a pigtail that connects to the vehicle's wiring harness, and
splices into the radio's pigtail. The leads are marked. Match them up as you
splice.
