stereo compatability

I've got an 03 toyota echo with a basic am-fm stereo. Is a stereo from a
scion (am-fm-cd) compatable with my echo?

Sure, as long as you just intent to mount it under the dash somewhere.

For a real answer, yes, it should be plug-compatible, so you can just plug
it in.

Now, whether it is MODEL specific...It may require some 'modification' to
the face plate; I doubt a Scion faceplate will work.

They are ALL DIN or Double-DIN, so it will fit the alloted space in the
dash.

Crutchfield.com has a good system for checking what stereos are
compatible with your car, so by entering both cars into their system,
you should be able to figure out whether they're the same size/fit/etc.
You can also get adapter plates/plugs/etc from them, but unless you
buy their stereo from them also, the adapters are pretty pricy, if I
recall correctly.

The Scions use an 8" wide faceplate. If yours is the same width, then
it will go in. Your radio could be the older 7" wide faceplate
though. The plugs in the back are the exact same.
