^^ Ok, got it. Thanks for the response. I asked for clarification in case your question was about aftermarket double-din units.
Refining your question: “couldnt find this info, but will a non-bose radio (i.e., an OEM Clarion headunit) from an 07 fit in an 03?”
The answer is no (but with some elaboration). The center console in a 2007 is contoured slightly differently (that’s why a double-din bezel piece for mounting aftermarket double-din H/U’s is not the same for 2003 and 2007 Z’s). Also, the vinyl skin in 2003’s and 2007’s is not the same color or texture.
I believe you could get it to fit, but it wouldn’t look quite right without some custom finishing, and it would be the wrong color.
Hope this is helpful,

Your thread title is super lacking... it's not helpful at all. This forum is pretty brutal to those people who don't seem willing to try and help themselves. I figured by over 240 posts you've probably seen "The Top 100 Common Questions" post. In it, it gives this advice...
That being said... yes, and no. Everything Spike100 said is correct. The 07 interior is contoured differently, the radio's shape being changed slightly as well. The color, as he said, is also different. You CAN do a center console swap if it's that important to you... but a cheap unit from Walmart and a mounting kit will probably be cheaper and give comparable sound. Good luck!
SUBJECT LINES!!!!!! Make sure you use an informative subject line when you start a thread. Don't just put Help! or Question? in the subject line. Put something that makes sense and will invite a knowledgable member into the thread to provide an answer. For example: Need help with tires. or Have question about my OEM stereo.
