Can I install a 2004 Chevy Cavalier stereo in a 2000 Chevy Cavalier?

I'm trying to find a solution to hooking up my iPod to the stereo in my Chevy Cavalier or replacing it. Unfortunately, it seems that there is no AUX in on the factory stereo, nor is there a CD changer input, which would allow me to install an AUX input converter. I've considered installing an aftermarket stereo, however, I'd need an $80 adapter to do so.

So, could I install a 2004 (or other year) Chevy Cavalier stereo, which I believe has an AUX input on the back, without having problems (e.g., losing the chime/warning sounds or other problems)?

I am pretty sure you can because I installed a Sony Explod system on my 2002 Caviler the hardware was for a 05
I didnt use all the bolts but it still works

You don't want to pull out a factory stereo , just to put in a factory stereo!!!
Go ahead and get a new stereo, and whoever said you needed the adapter to do so is messed up in the head!!!

Get you a nice stereo and amp install them the proper way and rock on!!!

No, your wiring harness would still need to be adapted to suit the new unit.

Why dont you buy a FM Modulator for your ipod? Its the cheapest and easiest solution.

I bought one for my Ipod off evilbay and you can get the for under $50. Probably closer to $20 now, I got mine about a year or more ago.

If you are happy with your stock stereo, and its working fine, I would be taking this route.

unfortunately,they are not interchangeable. your dealing with programmed computers here.not to mention the difference in coding.
