It;s the blue wire coming out of the radio........the NEW radio. Not the wires already in you car.(stock wiring harness.)
blue is almost always remote
black is almost always ground
yellow is almost always dim? or lights?
orange is something
red is acc?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you made a couple small mistakes......

Yellow is actually the Constant Power. This wire is + and HOT!! It is the wire that is always feeding juice to the unit when attached.
The Red is the acc wire, which turns the relay inside of the radio on so that it can make use of the juice coming from the yellow wire.
The orange wire is almost always the Dimmer connection.
The Blue wires these days can be a few different types::::::
Solid Blue -- Power Antenna lead (if applicable, not in Scion)
Blue with white stripe -- Amplifier Control Lead.....used to be the same as above, but most companies are seperating them now.
Blue with Orange stripe -- This is on Kenwoods only and is the steering wheel controls lead.
