I do know the wiring for a 92-96 model camries, but i'm not sure if the 97 model uses the same harness... Its best if you have a picture of the wires, so if i can match it up for you, i think toyota have kept the color coding the same...

i know how to figure out the wires. but youd need one of those wire testers that lights up when there power to the wire (its like 5-10dollars at an auto parts store), and a 9v battery

i have everything set up by my radio has a blue wire thats supposed to be an antenna wire and my car has a white with green wire and a dark green wire left over and the radio only partially works.

That's a nice chart :-)

Well the Dark Green is the illumination wire according to the chart, it should connect to the head unit's orange wire.

The Blue wire from the headunit is for a power antenna, you dont need that unless your car has a power antenna, one that goes up and down when you turn the radio on.
