Do all car dash stereos are compatible with all the cars out there?

[Cipher]

I want to buy a car stereo for my car cause its pretty messed up and well i want to get it off ebay but my question is do all car stereos fit in all of the cars? or only some of them work only in certain cars? i dont want to waste my money on something i cant install in my car...

Check the dimensions of the stereo and your stereo. If it's the same make and model (sometimes years can be different) then, yes, it's fine. If you buy a stereo that's too small for the hole in your dash then you can buy something to fix it at walmart (a "dash kit" or somthing like that). It's like $13.

With most different stereos you will need to buy an adapter (no more then $20). You just hook up the wires and plug it in.
