radios not compatible?

my dad asked the acura dealer to install a '02 6-in dash CD radio into our '00 TL and dealer told him it wouldn't work...the dealer said something about the connections in the back of the '02 radio was not compatible with the '00. is this true? i really thought it was a simple plug and play.

anyone know the truth? was the dealer bullshitting?

We just installed '02 radio into my brother's '99 TL. Everything fits just fine. The connectors are not quite in the same location but you can't miss them.

The only issue I have not seen resolved is whether or not a 02 -03 TL (nav or non-nav) radio will fit in a 99 - 01 TL w/ nav ? Radio may work fine, but the nav-to-radio functions may not. Now if someone can answer that, I would very much appreciate it.

the pins are the same, just don't get a CL HU, the unit will work, but will not fit right.

what do you mean "not fit right?" you mean it wont physically fit in the radio slot?
