Default C5 Radio Wiring

Hi folks. I have a 2003 Coupe with the cassette radio head. I'm buying a CD radio head from a wrecked 2003 coupe and I'm wondering if the wiring connections are the same. Can I just remove the cassette radio and plug in the CD radio with the same connections? Thanks much...........Steve Snider

Totally plug and play. All connectors are the same.
Now the factory radios have a theft lock feature. Hopefully it was never enable on the CD radio. If it was there was a way to unlock it by calling a number for GM but not sure if that is still available.
