Default Sony MEX-M70BT wiring question

Getting head unit today and reviewing the wiring schematic. What is the Orange/White illumination positive wire used for and or is it needed on a bike?
Instructions for this marine unit says to hook it up to the boats illumination signal. My Street Glide doesn't float.

Not needed for bike. Basically once that wire gets power it dims the illumination on the head unit. Making it harder to see during day
