Can I retrofit an OEM Honda Nav unit into a car it's not meant for?

I want to put this Civic DDin Nav unit:

in an 08 Element.

Can I just get the wiring harness for it and hardwire it? What about antennas and other components?

I'm sure it's possible since it's from a honda, I don't know if they make a wire harness that would convert to work with your vehicle. But if you're going to hardwire/rewire the entire thing sounds like a big pita, can you get the unit for cheap in the first place?

Sure I could, but I could also have OEM nav in a car it's not meant for. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

I doubt the RCA preouts are anything worthwhile on this, if it has any. Might have to use a cleansweep.
