That's a funky harness adapter. (I had the same one in my 2004 when I replaced the old Pioneer with a double din, threw it away to use the single plug design.) Anyway, you want the Orange wire that is next to the Yellow wire.

orange is the illumination wire...aka dimming wire. It will dim the lighting of the headunit display when turn on your parking/headlights. If you are not using it, properly tape/heatshrink it. It will have +12VDC when you turn on your lights.
