Street Spirit

I swear I remember reading here that someone in Canada who purchased an '02 or '03 in-dash 6 cd player (from the States) was not able to install it in their car because the Canadian model had one more/less connection than the U.S. model. They ended up having to re-sell it. Does anyone know if the swap will work? Don't want to buy it and then not be able to use it. I have a '99.

Also, do you know if the '02 in-dash six reads CD-Rs without problems??
