Default Hatchback OEM stereo

Hi all,

I want to fit a OEM style stereo to my classic STI. I've been Looking at the MY07 onwards stereo because they have the CD changer & MP3 IPod connectivity that I want.

They look like a standard double din, but I've been told by a seller on ebay that it isn't compatable with an older model. Anyone know any reason why?

Thanks

Looking at the photos on ebay it looks like a usual ISO connector. Assuming the small square 1 is for iPod connection?
