I'm new to this site and I sure can use some help. I see a ton of information on replacing the existing stereo from Elements, but nothing on installation. I purchased a 2003 DX without a radio and I purchased from an individual a complete OEM stereo system including head unit, amp, and speakers. Unfortunately all these do not come with the wiring harnesses to hook them up, and I don't think the wiring will already exist in the vehicle (please correct me if I'm wrong). Does anyone have the wiring that they removed from their Element that may have replaced their system with, and if so, maybe willing to sell cheap? Otherwise, can anyone tell me where I can get the wiring that will go from the headunit to the amp, and the amp to the subwoofer? I appreciate any help you can give.

The car should be prewired from the factory. Since yours is a 2003, the factory wired he car, and the dealer more than likely installed the stereo. But I can't 100% sure unless I got a look inside the vehicle. Also you can't have a 2003 DX in cargo Khaki. It is only available in limited quantities in 2005.
