Are these two CD players compatible?

I need to replace my CD changer, and wanted to make sure that these two can be interchanged. My stocker is code 4C3T-18C815-AA and the replacement is 3C3T-18C815-AC. They both have the two black harnesses and was curious if they would interchange and what the differences were (if any). Thanks in advance!
Rob

If they have the same harness and they are the same physical size they are interchangeable.

Exactly...

3C3T-18C815-AC is from an '04 F-250, so it should interchange no problem...

3C3T-18C815-AC = CDR MP3 Player

4C3T-18C815-AA = Premium CD6 Player

It sounds like the one myself and 1975stroppebaja have... I.e. You can play mp3s in addition to the regular CDs, it's also a 6 disc in dash like your old one. It's awesome! You'll love it!

Thanks guys! Shot the guy a PM just a minute ago, looking forward to not having dead batteries anymore. (My CD changer keeps shuffling the discs and drains the batts. overnight... I have to disconnect the CD player each night).

Why not get an iPod and rip ALL your CDs to the iPod? There are adapters if your radio doesn't have an aux input. My iPod is 1/2 full with 3400 songs.

IPod? What is "Ipod"... sounds like a new fangled fad. I will just stick with them itty bitty records for now.

Seriously, I guess I should really get into the 21st century, eh?

Ipod??? Why not get a iphone? I actually used my blackberry as a media player and then also used slacker and pandora. I'd rather not have to keep up with a ipod, charger etc....
