You are looking for the "remote" wire that shows current when the car is on, possibly? In a 98 camry don't have a clue as to what color that wire would be. You could trace it back to the HU and look for a label there.

The remote wire is normally blue however connect it to a switched live (you'll need a mutimeter) if you dont have a remote out on the back of your headunit

what PassatBloke is saying is that you use a DMM to test different wires to find a wire that is "hot" when the key is in the ignition but not "hot" when the key is not in the car ignition. Make sense?
