I've never dealt with the stock head unit. When I bought my '02 it had an aftermarket unit, but I assume that the two should have the same wire harness. If it does it will work no doubt

It's different.

The 94-00 stereo is two single din setups

the 2001+ is the single 6-disk changer setup. It will require physical changes to the center console to mount it as well as wiring changes since only the speakers are the same. You'd need to aquire the amps and wiring as well.

It has been done, and if you search you'll find threads on it

It's really just easier to buy an aftermarket sound system because once they changed the radio set up everything changed from the console to the position of the fog light/rear defrost switches. It is alot of trouble and I would just advise getting an aftermarket unit.
