Default Question about S2k oem radio

I just picked up an 05 S2k and it has a aftermarket radio in it. I really dont want the aftermarket and would like to pick up an oem one. Now here's the dumb question. Will ap1 radios fit in the ap2? Will an 04 fit in a 05? Sorry guys..Im pretty sure an 04 will fit but I just want to make sure by asking. Thanks.

OEM radios are cheap, and I am pretty sure you can put the AP1 radio right into your S. You will need the code though, so make sure you get it with any radio you buy. FYI: The factory head unit and speakers SUCK.

I have an opportunity to get a oem radio from an 07 S. Its xm ready but i dont have the xm kit or anything. If i wanted to, could i use this radio and cd even though its xm ready but not have the xm stuff installed? It should still work fine right?

Yes it'll work fine. Make sure you get the unlock code.

Not sure if the '04-'06 AP2 HU and speakers are the same as the '07+, but I find the '07+ not bad at all. It's not great, but I can hear everything fine and distortion free with the top down at 75mph. Plus I can't find a good aftermarket HU I like with orange illumination.

You have speakers in your roll hoop's so you are obviously going to get a better sound. The newer HU are much better as well I am sure, that was a major complaint with older S2000's.

Now to go along with sound, My '06 has great sound. Probably the best "stock" system I have heard in awhile.

My OEM Ap1 cd player works when it wants.The volume is very low and u can only hear it if the tops up.I think they might have something so u can keep the controls on the dash if u do aftermarket..
