In case anyone else does a search on wiring an aftermarket radio and finding you have the factory amp that appears to be causing a wire harness conflict--I'll throw in my .02 cents.

Don't bother removing the center console. The two radio harness connectors in question (that Toyota uses on everything) are hanging off a bracket on the underside of the amp. Just pull down and the two connectors will release from the metal bracket. It's one of those typical Toyota snap-in plastic retainers used on wire harnesses. Anyway, the two plugs are side-by side and can be pulled forward far enough for you to unplug the two radio harness plugs. Unplug them, and then you will be able to pull the two mail ends up along the driver side and close enough to reach your radio.

This way, you are bypassing the OEM amp and using the standard two Toyota radio plugs. But, you can still leave the amp and it's connectors in place and reuse it if you ever sell your car and want to put the factory stereo back in.
