Default stereo question

i hit the search button... but i got too many hits on irrelevant questions...

i have the older symphony... the long skinny one... but i want the new ones... the one with tape and cd in the dash...

but that requires a whole new center console. does everything in those 00+ center console fit on the 99 (not the 99.5) and are all the plugs, plug and play?

if anyone has done this, how difficult is it and is it worth doing this? or should i just get an aftermarket stereo?
