1. You should have the instructions from the manufacture if not try there web site. If it is a single din fold out screen most of they just plug into the normal car radio wiring or go to Halfords and get the adaptor lead (if your in the UK) there not cheap but the save chopping the wires.
2. The instructions from the manufacturer should tell you exactly how to install the unit. If you don't have the instructions, check on the manufacturer's website for them. If all else fails, there are websites that sell installation manuals out there if you search for them. I have installed these before, and it's not as difficult as it looks. if you get a wire harness to fit your car, then all you need to do is match up the wires (yellow with yellow, green with green, etc.). Depending on how powerful the unit is, you may need to run a separate power wire to the battery. I would also definitely ground the HU directly to your car instead of connecting it to the wire harness. The A/V inputs/outputs should be explained on the unit, if you're connecting another video source (like a game system) or if you have additional monitors you want the video output to go to. If the unit comes with a hideaway box, you'll need to find someplace to mount it, which can be the most difficult part!
