Hello, a 1 DIN is a smaller width stereo unit almost all older vehicles have openings for a 1 DIN stereo. A 1DIN or single DIN stereo/DVD unit is long and skinny a 2 DIN or double DIN is twice the width. You can install a single DIN unit in just about any car as there are adapters to fill the larger dash opening for the head unit. Many newer car factory units are double DIN. If your car has a single DIN factory unit you may be able to install a double DIN unit, but you might have to cut the dash opening to make it fit. I would go to Crutchfields web site and put your cars information in it and the site will tell you what fits your Toyota. Good luck and enjoy your new DVD audio system.
