Default Which cable for dimmer function on replacement radio

Hi just replaced head unit in my AU I work hack with an Alpine unit, works fine. However I don't know which cable to use from the car to connect to the head unit on the dimmer function ie so that the display on the radio dims when the cars lights are switched on. I would like to know, so if anyone can help, please.
