cover the pin that wire goes into with a bit of tape, saves cutting wires.

i presume it just stops the head unit sending any singals to the MFD so it just goes back to how it would be without any signal

the original headunit probably sends the information to display down the blue wire, so when u change to a new headunit that has a display the equivalent blue wire would be internal

i don't read manuals and i did not notice the dimmer switch as it has no labels etc on it!!!!
Mate showed it to me last week, i thought my alternator was fcuked!!!!
