Very easy, buy a harness for Toyota from Wal Mart its about 10 bucks. Then the wires are color coordinated. So just play match match. And your done. The only difficult thing would be hooking up the video wire to the E-Brake. But you can get around that with a over ride switch, or re-pinning the wire. Itsw super simple and takes about 15minutes if you use butt connectors. If you do it the right way, shrink wrap and sawtering iron. ( That isnt how its spelled )

Other than than man it really isnt hard at all.

I think I have a extra set, do you mean the one that comes stock with the celica ? The mounting beakers that hold it in place.

Your stock mounting brackets bolt right up and all you have to do with the ebrake safety wire is run it to ground. Stupid simple install - I did mine in 1/2hr.
