Does this unit have to park light wire, that will automatically dim the display, at nights when park light is put on?

There is no dimming on this radio at all. It is surprisingly not as bad as some L.E.D. units I have had in the past though.

It has a dimmer wire. From what I read online that's what it's supposed to be for. But when I hooked it into a buddy of mines car, turning the lights on made no difference. I'm not sure if it was because of the car, if maybe that isn't what it's for or because it simply doesn't work.

No. The running light is very bright and turns itself on and off randomly but tends to stay on. Go with another unit! This is horrible

There is no "Auto-dimming" however if my memory serves me correct there is a feature to change between a "day" and "night" mode. I believe this was kinda a step filled process though and not just a click on one button.Still it was a good deck for my Jeep and at the price there isn't really anything better.

No. It is on-off-on. The lights follow the position of the switch if a ground wire is installed.

Yes. The unit has several settings. The light extinguishes when power returns when set in the "normal" setting. You may also use a setting that turns these lights on when the area becomes dim. These LED lights are quite bright.

Yes, this dimmer dims the lights. However, you need to know that whenever you turn on the lights, they initially come on bright regardless of the setting when lasst turnrd off.

No, this is only on/off. However, I too wanted to dim some outdoor lights (to one fixed dimmed position). I got a cheap plug-in dimmer (Lutron TT-300NLH-WH Credenza Lamp Dimmer White - $12) which I plugged into the output of this unit and my outdoor LED string to that. Now my controller turns them on and off and they're to the brightness I want. I can't program the brightness but I didn't want to anyway.

121325 - Yes there are two black wires coming out of the housing that need to be spliced into the parking light circuit. One of them is the power, and the other is ground. It doesn't matter which is which, since the LED circuit is non polar, but they can't be the same.

Yes, the easiest way is to plug it into day/night sensor plug. That way it comes on automatically in the evening and goes off at dawn.

I set mine to come on with the lights. You need to check your sources. It may not be hooked to the parking lights.

Yes. It has a dimmer. The light will dim if you press the light button on the remote and hold it.

No need. You can leave the light on one setting and use the control to dim.
2010898
Yes,You will need to connect to a dimmer installed at the wall switch. This will mean that every light on the circuit will be dimmed.

Yes, the lights go off completely, unless you select the "dim/full" option. I didn't go out to look at how this was done when I set it up, but that's how I set it up at installation. So, I don't use the dimming feature, just on/off. And, the on/off is enabled only at dusk. They go off on a timed setting, also selectable.

It does have an auto dim feature. The sensor is the little hole under "14" and above the LCD display (you can actually see it in the product picture). I have this and can confirm that the auto-dim does work.

Yes, only if it is already on before you turn out the lights. The display is dim, but readable up-close with good eyes.
