2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Can I Swap a 2004.5 radio to a 1999

[MLeppen]

My dad pulled his new stock radio from a 2004. 5 with steering wheel controls, for the fancy Navigation radio and has the old one sitting around. Can I swap it to my 1999 that also has the steering wheel controls?

Anything has to be better than my old infinity.

Mleppen Im Not 100% Sure But I Am Pretty Sure The Radios Changed After 02 Or 03 The Corners On The New Radios Are Rounded Rather Than Being Pointed Like The Older Ones I Think You Run Into Trouble Getting Them To Fit. Like I Said Not Sure But I Remeber Reading Somewhere.

shaped different, plugs are all different and I believe the newer one uses the CANBUS where the old one did not.

NO, not from 3rd gen to 2nd gen.

i don't know if this helps or not as i think the 99 dash is different from mine but i installed the cd/tape head unit from a 02 durango in my 96 with a little dremmel work and a couple harness adaptor plugs, at the point i am at now i think i can plug in a rb1 nav unit inplace of this and jam (if i had $650 to burn on one from ebay)

Can bus did not hit the trucks till 06 But the radios changed earlier and will not work

Oh well sounded good though,but would like to get something new that will play burned discs (without error msg. ) fit in the dash properly and use wheel controls, kind of plug and play. Am I asking too much?
