Default Stock HU switch??

I was wondering if it's possible to replace the stock head unit from a 1st-gen ES...




... with this stock head unit from a '98-'99 ES...??




Both head units retain the same controls and buttons, though obviously in different locations. I would imagine that this HU change could work w/out any connection problems, unless I'm missing something here. Someone clue me in please

i had a feeling towards that too, sk.
my grandpa had a '99 (sort of gone thanks to some lady turning in front of him)
but yeah i'm not 100% sure, but i'm pretty sure the sizes are different. (haven't seen the car in about 2 months, so can't be 100% sure anymore)
but i'm pretty sure the size of the center console changed between generations.
