Default Power wire for stereo

I am trying to connect an aftermarket stereo on my 1999 c5 corvette

to the power wire located in the passenger seat side. I can't tell which wire is the power source

See the wires in the upper left of this pic? Orange is hot all the time. Yellow is accessory-powered. Use the yellow.

BTW, in case you don’t know, your car’s column lock has been bypassed via an LMC5. The column lock relay has been pulled, too. This is a good thing.
