Will my wire harness fit??

[Ndubz]

I'm sure this is a stupid question but before anyone gets on me let me say I'm new with the do it ylursf
Car audio. I've always paid for installation in the past for fear of breaking something or taking something apart and not being able to put it back together correctly; i.e. dashboard, door trim mounding... This time around I'm trying to save myself some money by doing the work myself and I have a question I was hoping someone could answer before I get started.

I recently picked up an 03 Elantra after totaling my
01 Sentra. After the crash I was able to take out my aftermarket stereo with the wireing harness already attached - I had te deck professionally installed because I did not trust myself to connect all the wires from the harness to the correct wires on the deck.
My question is, before I go and yank out the aftermarket deck that's in the car (really old piece of ****) in order to attempt to install mine, WILL THE HARNESS FROM THE SENTRA FIT IN THE ELANTRA? Or are they completely different due to being different cars?

Thanks a lot in advance! Any suggestions are great. I want to upgrade the stereo in the car and after that attempt to install an amp and sub from my old car (also previously professionally
Installed)

no you will have to get a harness for the elantra that is all you wont need a dash kit.
here is a diy step two is for removing the dash to get to the radio http://elantragtclub.tripod.com/elantra/id167.html

Thanks a lot for the info, those guides will be a huge help. Is removing the dash really as simple as Thr instructions make it sound? My fear has always been breaking something or not being able to put it back right... I don't want to ruin the interior of a really nice car.
Thanks again for the help, I'll order the new wire harness today. If all goes well with the radio I'll see if I can manage the amp wiring lol

yeah its not really that hard, after a few time you could do it with your eyes closed...lol
make sure the few wires that do not get used on the harness are taped real good by them self.
