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).

Not thread jack...but question how those one fine out what year in the production line your car was made..example I have a 2000 but was it made in 99 for the 2000 yr or at the mid way point of 2000 for end year sale...

Anybody have more info for somebody like me looking to get another stock unit. I want to get another unit, but want to amke srue that it will plug right in. Don't want to waste my money or have to deal with splicing wires.

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!

You have a mark levinson headunit which Im actually surprised works, and it will have better sound, but you dont have the ML audio system though. Meaning the speakers. All the speakers you have are made for the pioneer HU
ML has different speakers.
