Are stock radios interchangeable regardless of yr?
#18
For a lexury (somewhat) car, that's not really my thing. I prefer the stock look, plus I have no need for something flashy and hi-tech. The stock radio sound and quality is great to me.
I donno, I assume the factory radio is pioneer. I guess the answer to your question is yes, not the factory upgrade model (the 'N' something radio).

Anybody have any specifics to this topic? I really am in need of another stock radio, however I don't want to buy the wrong radio...something that will not log in and work with my year GS.

Ok, my radio has pretty much taken a dump at this point. I can only get cd's to play so I am in need of a radio now. Is there no converter that will make the 01+ stock radios work in a 99?

The ML amp isn't there and spkrs are of course not the same but the output still matches 1-1. I bought it because it was the only one in "mint" condition. I hope I didn't toss $300 down the drain on ebay!

I would've taken the Pioneer like mine, sure, but I searched for months and this is the only one that popped up in near new condition (or so they claim). It's a double din, exact inputs as mine. And I'm not spending $975 at the dealer, not in this lifetime..

01-05 ML and Pioneer headunits interchangeable!
I received my ML headunit from fleabay today.. this is confirmation **ML and Pioneer headunits for 01-05 ARE in fact interchangeable!**
The double-din plugs match and the whole unit plugs n plays! And, maybe I'm hearing things but I swear the sound output is much improved over my old Pioneer.
Happy camper here knowing my money was well spent and hope I answer somebody's question with this upgrade!
