Most likely, but have them take a picture of the back of it and comnpare it to your current one. Want to make sure the harness connectors are the same to be able to use the S-W controls. Since it's the same year if I remember right, shouldn't be a problem - but I'd check to make sure.

Another option is to talk to a dealer - get the part numbers for the radio for both cars and see if they're the same.

of course the part numbers are different. That radio never came in F-bodys. What you really need to check and see is if all the pinouts are the same. Find a wiring diagram for both models and compare. But given GM's recycling of parts, I'm sure if it looks like it will work, it probably will.

If you’re in Sweden, that could be a problem with tuning.
