Radio Replacement Saga

Radio Replacement Saga
I have a 2002 E-350 Super Duty van & a 2001 F-350 Super Duty 4x4 pickup. The stereo in the van was crap, so had a new Pioneer Touch Screen installed. Big Mistake!
Just after the Warrantee expired, the CD/DVD option completely disappeared from the screen. That PLUS trying to operate it while driving is worse than trying to drive and text. I don't really need all that modern crap anyway, Have separate GPS and a laptop for DVDs.
The 6 CD system in my 2001 pickup still works great, so I want to know if I find the OLDER (2001) model, will the electrical plugs and such MATCH my 2002 E350 van?
Thanks

Looking at the connector views between the F and E and the two different years, the connector number is different, but visually and pin/circuits are the same between the two rigs.. If you want the connector views, let me know....

The Saga Continues
Harness connector was not removed, so that is a plus.

The CD6 by Visteon will fit:
1999 - 2003 F series & Super Duty
2000 - 2007 E series Econoline
Called the local Ford dealership and asked about ordering a new/refurbished CD6. They said they could ONLY sell me a radio that was offered on the original vehicle as an option. Seems to me that I should be able to order what I want, rather than them telling me it can't be done. I guess 'will fit' and 'was offered' is like Ford vs Yugo.
