It should come with a monitor...and should be fairly easy. Should just be audio in and out cables..and power. See if any of your friends know how, im sure they would lol

hah! something I know a little about :P

most stereos (at least here in the States) follow a standard color code:
Yellow = hot (battery)
Red = ACC (switch)
Black = Chassis (ground)
Speaker wires vary in color, but that's no big deal,
it's the power & ground you dont wanna fk up on,
you can play with the speaker wires til you get it right and not hurt anything

if you're not buying a wiring harness,
which wouldnt be a bad idea as they're only about 10 bucks and as simple as can be,
(and some dash kits include harnesses, which you'll probably need a dash kit as well)
then to make it as easy as possible, get a multimeter, trust me

then take the old unit out,

and on the harness you just disconnected the stereo from,
with the car off,
test each pin 'til you get a 12V reading....
you now have your hot (yellow) wire :)

now with the key turned to the 'ACC' position,
test the remaining wires for a 12V reading,
you now have your ACC switch (red) wire :)

ground is easy,
just connect it to a screw on an unpainted piece of the chassis,
should be one in/near the mounting hole for the stereo

I have a manual with wiring configs from a shitload of different cars,
when I find it I can post what the speaker wires are

I dunno if this would be of any use to you because it doesn't specify for models past 2000. But here it is anyway
