I was just going to avoid the dimmer for now as I was having a tough time finding a 12v power when the headlights were turned on. But if you have a suggestion of which wire, I would be happy to hear 
(I read that it was the red/black wire that is hooked up to the dimmer ****/many other things in the dash, but knowing the fragility of the dimmer circuit in these cars I didn't want to try it).

Okay so O2 signal and power are figured out. I also found in the manual that the white wire needs to be grounded if not used (I'm assuming any ground is fine) and the unused black wire can just be electrical taped.
Suggestions where to put the white wire (on a 1.6) are appreciated.
So now its just ground. Where do I put it on the MS3X? I don't see a black wire going to the center auxiliary section of the harness.

Are there any ground wires coming from the MS? They are all connected internally unless brain did something wacky. So you can use any ground wire coming from the MS3. Read:

Well if it hasn't friend your dimmer switch yet, I guess I might as well give it a try 
That diagram helps a lot, thanks FRT. But it confuses me as to which pin I'm actually supposed to tap into for my black wire. I would assume anything 7-19? And that also brings me to ask, should I ground the MS3X's case itself to the block? Thats what it said in the diagram, but I thought these are all grounded internally and to the case and everything already.
Don't worry, I'm so close, a few more stupid questions and you won't have to hear from me anymore

Black goes to the Black ground wires of the MS harness. Use the ones closest to the center connector; they will be paired on 2 pins.
White goes to R/B wire on the radio.
Brown is unused. don't ground it; just dont connect it.
Yellow goes to the pink wire on the center of your MS harness.
