It seems like you have your dimmer hooked up to the switched wire on the back of the head unit. Take a test light or vmeter and start troubleshooting..find out whats what.You need the ignition wire hooked up to it. No reading when car is off and reading when car in on. It's fairly easy to figure them out. Good Luck.
