I recently bought a new 2003 Monte Carlo SS with factory XM radio. I miss
my mp3 player from my old car though and I was wondering if it is possible
to take the factory stereo out of my 2003 monte and stick it in my 96 monte
and hook up the XM radio to it. I realize I would have to buy a new antenna
for the old monte, but my question is would an aftermarket antenna match up
with the plug in the back of the GM receiver. Thanks to all who reply.

Wouldn't fit. Completely different plugs, plus the new Monte has a Class 2
Databus.

No, the 2000 and up GM vehicles is a totally different breed of radios from previous years. The 2000+ models use a data bus system to "turn the radio on" which is not found in the older GM's, plus the size of the radio is totally different.
