i would think not - the wires might match up but it might not fit in place. and make sure his cd changer is not jammed - TL's and CL's have a long history of jamming CD changers. i just wouldnt do it cus i know if it hasnt jammed yet it will. just get an after market Cd changer i would suggest.

Nope.

Where would you put it? The surrounding trim is different, the amplifier is different. Wiring harnesses are different. You're better off going aftermarket or getting a 2004 RL stereo.

I've seen the trunk mounted CD players for RLs on ebay. That would be plug and play with your current stereo. Another option would be to use an ipod with an FM transmitter....

I agree. Or you can get an FM antenna splitter. Basically you'd just turn your FM dial to 87.7 or something similar and that would be your iPod station. A physical connection rather than going over the airwaves. Just an option

I had an old CD player with an adaptor that fit into the cassette deck. That worked with an ipod as well...
