Default IS300 Radio in an ES3?

Does anyone know if the IS300 radio will work in a 96 ES3?

I would first inquire that question in the IS forum and ask what connectors are in the back of the stereo unit. You should also physically measure both units and see if they match up together (or close).

The problem is, the stereo on the IS is much wider (and probably deeper) than the ES's since it has to hold and change 6 CD's, where the ES doesn't have to change any.

What's your reasoning behind this mod, anyways? Sounds like it would be too much work for my taste.
