Sure it will fit our cars can accept any size head unit weather it is din or double din. The install is easy and if you are not into instaling then just go to your local instaler, they should be able to help you.
You might even consider geting an aftermarket head unit.

Yes, it should fit.

Only problem, is if you go the route of an aftermarket unit, you have to replace all your speakers. I just don't know if you wnated to do that or not. Whatever you get, you cna install it yourself...I just did my stereo and I don't know anything, just got directions and followed them.

Different connectors!!

When he showed it to me it looked like the connections in the back were different. I found connectors at Best buy that fits my existing wiring harness, but couldn't find anything to go into the 98 CD/cassette unit. Do you know where I would possibly find that?? Thanks

Check out http://www.autotoys.com . They seem to have a lot of that stuff. If not, Radio Shack might have it too. Good luck.

if im correct

the bose for the 98 has a separate amplifier some where in the car.... and the bose in your car has each amp built in to each speaker so i dont think it will operate......if u put that 98 radio in u need to find the schematics for that radio to find the low level out puts.... conntect it to an amp then u have to take ou tur bose speakers and do an up grade...... so for all that work i would buy a new radio and new speakers

you dont have to change speakers

At work we just use a wiring adapter harness like $30 and mine works fine and its an after market. I then changed the speakers but that was for a different reason ( i got them dirt cheap)but the boses worked fine with the adapter. Just dont let anyone tell you can do it with out an adapter(sounds like **** when its low)
