Will an '07/'08 Radio fit in an '04?

I have an opportunity to pick one up at a good price right now as the CD portion of mine finally crapped out after 10 years.

Do those clip changes make putting it in impossible, or do I have to get new clips?

if you search Ebay; you can see the differences on the back of the radios.
ebay will have multi angled images for you to compare.

the 07-08 radio is def. different. or has a different connector.
if you want to splice, go ahead!!

I wouldnt. but that's just me.

I need a solution too as the cd changer in my 04 crapped out on me as well. I think it can be done if you can get the factory wiring pinout for that harness, and get a universal connector with the same amount of pins. Then de-pin the old harness and re-pin into the new connector that will fit the 07-08 stereo.

The door to the tape player has a code on it and it needs to match. It's on the upper right on the door.

07-08 uses a new navi system so you'll have to swap out some components. Member Psheu did this on his TL a while back. You can search for it here to see how involved it was!
