Install pre-2000 Stereo HU in 2000 9-3 SE?

Short Question: Would it be possible to install a NG900 or 1999 9-3 SE head unit in a 2000 9-3 SE?
Long Question: I'm trying to get good sound quality with my iPod. FM modulator works, but sound sucks (FM interference with iPod electronics). I want to avoid getting an aftermarket head unit because I live in a big city and anything bling-bling gets stolen.
No way to get an adapter for the 2000+ head units with the proprietary bus, but the 99 and earlier units communicated with the CD changer using Clarion C-bus. I found this link: http://park8.wakwak.com/~hilo/audio/mod9255/cbusauxcable.html
which gives me some hope that a simple cable might suffice to get Aux-in for an earlier HU.
I imagine I would, at the very least, need to divorce my old HU. Would I need to marry the new head unit? Is it plug-compatible? I need an unlock code, right?
Any help appreciated...
