As long as it is a 99 or 2000 radio it should slide right in and work.

Thats what I am running. Swapped for a CD player and added a changer to the rear. Works great.

It should work but the Pro logic will not work correctly. But should still sound good.

If you go to the trouble of swapping for newer you will:
1. Cut wiring, or make a harness adapter female to male adapter, Metra makes the parts
2. Add a new antenna for reception
3. Modify both the dash and radio to make it fit and look nice

After market would be an easier route.
