saturn radio fit question -1999 or 2000

Hi,
Does anybody know if radio from 2000 Saturn S-series will fit into my
1999 Saturn SC-2?
My radio got stolen (smashed window did cost me much more!), but I see
lot's of 2000 and up radios on Ebay. It's fine if I need to rewire the
harness, but first of all I want the radio to have the right size.
I see a single-CD radio with pocket under it like in this Ebay auction:

Will this one fit?

Thanks all.

What do YOU think?
I think you have 5 days to find out.
Actually, No. I dont think you can put a 2000 in a 99. I
have a 95-99 style radio. It is incompatible apparently with
everything. IE that model oem stereo component series.
try checking the crutchfield website and seeing if you can find
anything that will fit your car, and if so, see if the same thing will
fit on a 2000.

Wav,
Do you know how different 2000 radio is from 1999? Is it wider, or
higher, or deeper?
When I bought my current Saturn (1999), it came with a Pioneer radio,
that later got stolen. Pioneer did fit the width, but I think it was
thinner than original Saturn Radio, and it was installed with the
installation kit like this one:

If 2000 radio is smaller than 1999, I'll give it a chance. However, if
it is bigger, than there will be a trouble fitting it.
Thanks.

When I looked in the crutchfield.com website, several of the same units
that fit the 1999 saturn also fit the 2000. I think if anything, the
difference is the wiring connections.
BTW - you can also get the wiring and dash fitting bezel for free from
Crutchfield if you buy a dash unit from them.

Wav,
My concern is about the size, not wiring. I used to have a Saturn 92',
and I still have the original radio from 92'. That radio does not fit
into 99' car because the radio is physically wider. I don't know why
would they do that!
