Hey everyone newbie here, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a stock stereo from an 01 or 02 would work in my 03. Thanks

 

is there any specific reason you would want it to?...aftermarkets are way better for one....better quality sound and not that expensive...get a sony at best buy for about 120....

 

The stereo in the 01 is a little better than the 03. It's not a daily driver either, it sits quite a bit so i don't think i need aftermarket. But the upgraded 01 would be a little better.

 

i honestley would even go buy a cheaper a/m one just to get it in there...if i knew id keep my truck and never trade it in id sell ya mine outta my 04 but i need something to put in it if i ever did...even if its less than 100 dollar one at wally world....

 

I was just wondering, i wrecked the 01, bought an 03. So if the swap wasn't going to be hard I was just going to do it. Does anyone know if it will work??
Thanks for the replies

 

actually it should...i used the same harness in my 04 for my aftermarket as i did in my 99 so it shouldnt be a problem its always worth a try if you want what really do you have to lose....

 

The face plates are totally diff. the '01 sits behind the molding and is square. The 03 is rounded and sits flush with the molding. It would take some serious modification to the molding. You'ld be farther ahead to buy an aftermarket head and an install kit for like $20 at wally world.

 

thats a good point i forgot that the look was different on the dash bezels....

 

Just get one of the better 02-05 head units if you're looking to stay stock, there's a decent range of different ones and they don't cost all that much anymore with all the newer stuff out there.
