Default Can I replace the base radio with a JBL radio?

I couldn't find a definitive answer anywhere on this, so I thought I'd ask the group. I have a 2005 package 4 with the base radio, and I have the opportunity to purchase a 2005 JBL radio with CD changer. Would I be able to simply swap out the two radios, so that I have use of the CD changer, or is there more to the JBL radio that would make me unable to install it in place of the base radio? I'm not looking for some increase in performance, just the added CD changer that comes in the JBL radio. Thanks!

I'd have to guess no. The JBL has 4 more speakers and uses an amp under the passengers seat, I'd bet it's a completely different harness back there, but I'm not sure.
