You are likely to need a Toyota to stereo iso lead. This can be purchased from most motor factors. Halfords charge in the region of £19 each or it can be purchased from eBay for as little as £3.
You will also need a double din tray/holder. This is likely to be a eBay or Internet find as not many places will sell this.
The install is usually fairly straight forward with the above. Any questions give us a shout

It's a double din radio, so In don't think that is needed. I've never done, but assume it just fits in place of the original, plus the ISO conversion of course.

I just remember reading that the mounting holes didn't line up properly in this thread

I have never installed a double din myself so others may know better. eBay do additional mounting which I assumed was for this reason but I stand corrected s;) ;) s;)

I removed the plates off the side of my OEM (Toyota/fujitsu) system and reused them on my Alpine. Needed the Toyota iso from Halfrauds (which said all Toyotas except MR2! But worked fine)
ISO Harness Adaptor PC2-17-4 I think.

That's the harness I used for my jvc and is fine, if its the same size as the KW XR811 dont need a tray holder ( just strip all the bits off the original stereo) but do need the spacer brackets for either side to hide the gap, the original surround just about covers top & bottom and although it doesn't really fit properly like on the original mine hasn't moved.

you need two cables to connect it, the new stereo should have come with a cable (single plug - 2 plugs) that plugs into the back of it then the JVC harness bridges between that and the original cables.
(http://i46.tinypic.com/209psg5.jpg)this is wot i got with the strereo but none fit in the back off my old unit

This is the connector in the car(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/20/ede9edyv.jpg)
In last pic follow cables for a foam bit those are connectors, unplug there and connect the white bits of your halfords plugs there then the black bit of the lead that came with the unit into unit. If still stuck pm me your number and I'll talk you though it.
