OK..since I just realized I never took pictures of the back of the install, I will quote this post from last year. It is a picture of the stock outlet:

The Toyota outlet sits into a plastic cradel that locks into the switch plate panel. I'm not sure if you can lock it into place if you were to add it somewhere else. You can see it here.

As ruebarb explained, the outlet itself sits inside a plastic sleeve. This sleeve is one piece with the flip down cover. You can see the sleeve in the picture above...the plastic around the outlet is NOT part of the switch panel.
The way it works is you make your 1 1/8" hole, then slide the sleeve into place. It will press in just like the radioshack one. Next, you slide in the metal outlet into the plastic sleeve..as the outlet slides into place, tabs in the plastic sleeve are forced outwards (just behind the mounting surface) locking the sleeve into place. The outlet will click into place into the sleeve as well. It is now securely mounted, just like the factory one.
To hook it up, there are two tabs...one in the center and one on the side. Follow the original instructions in this thread and just hook up the red wire to the SIDE and the black wire to the CENTER. No need for any special harnesses or plugs. Simple install. The reason this is important: if you have the radioshack one and prefer the OEM one, all you need to do is pull out the radioshack one including wires (hopefully you left some slack), slide in the plastic sleeve, connect the oem plug and slide it back into place. 2 minutes tops.....
Here are the part numbers you'll need:

EDIT: Took a picture of the finished product at lunch (sorry, no DIY photos but install is very easy/straight forward)
