Question:

Can I re-use a wiring harness? If so?

Can wiring harnesses for car stereos be re-used? If so, are they specific to the car, the stereo, or both? Right now I've got an older JVC stereo in my '01 Chevy Prizm (same as Toyota Corolla). I'd like to avoid having to buy a new harness, and one of the stereos I'm looking at is JVC. Thanks.

Answer:

The place you are having it installed might insist on a new harness because the new stereo has more inputs and outputs than the old one, plus the plugs are probably going to be different. Especially if the new stereo has things the old one didn't like satellite radio or ipod input. Sure wish my stereo had an ipod input. And the speakers didn't sound like @%!
the wires can be reuse every thing unless they broken just add new ends or rewire ive never change mind wires come with the radio and speaker wire stay in car so really you dont have much to do but replace and rewire. shouldnt need to buy anything other than system
