I don't know exactly which wire is the remote turn on wire but I can tell you a way to find one that will work whether or not it is the remote wire.

1. Take a 12volt test light and connect it to a bare metal chassis of the car. Turn the key to Acc or On, no need to start the engine.
2. Using the test light probe the wires on the wiring harness until you find one where it turns on the test light. Now keeping the test light on this wire turn the key to off. If the test light goes off then you just found a wire you can tap into the use for the remote turn on. If the test light stays lit, move to the next wire and so on until you can find one that turns on and off with the ignition key.
