Default 2012 Caravan radio replacement

Good morning! The radio on my Caravan is not working and I am going to replace it. I have a regular radio (doesn't have the large display screen). Can I replace with a radio with a large display screen? Will be a replacement out of a 2015 Dodge Caravan. Thanks for any assistance.

I am no expert but it seems that parts from Dodge of similar model year 2011 to 2017 seems to have matching parts that are interchangeable. I have replaced a stock standard radio on a RAM Promaster for something custom and it works fine with few minor insert frame adjustments. I had to purchase a conversion wire harness and tempered with few of the wires and change their designation. It was not easy but a youtube DIY video helped tremendously. Doing this DIY backup camera with replacing the standard stock simple radio with one with large screen saved me close to $2000 so it was worth every penny.
