Installing a head unit in 2000 Celica

Hi, I am trying to install a Kenwood head unit in my GT-S. I had some installers look at my car and said I had to hard wire it in. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the new celicas? How do I bypass the factory amp? Thanks.

I bought that harness yesterday and the adapter for the kenwood so that I didnt' cut and splice. However, there isn't any connectors to plug the end of the 70-1761. I found the factory amp and the stock radio harness does not match up to any of the other wiring harnesses. The installer said something about there was a piece missing. I am not sure what part I am missing.  I tried matching up every plug behind my dash to the wiring harness (70-1761) and nothing was close to it. So, I have no idea what's going on with my car.

I have the "premium" 8 speaker system. Where is my amp located?

It is located behind the glovebox. To get to the stock amp: 1. Open the Glove Box 2. Turn the two plastic screws holding it in place to drop the glovebox to the floor. 3. The amp is located to the right.
