Why Choose This Product?

This harness gives you a vehicle-specific connection between the Element’s factory wiring and an aftermarket radio. Keeping the original radio connector wires uncut can make the wiring work more straightforward while leaving the receiver-side connections accessible for your installation.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Connect the vehicle-specific adapter to the original radio connectors and factory amplifier. The color-coded wires connect or solder to the aftermarket receiver. A dash kit, antenna adapter, or special interface adapter may also be needed to retain steering-wheel audio controls or functions such as navigation and video.

Factory subwoofer retention varies by vehicle. Check the requirements for your Element and planned radio installation before choosing additional parts.
