It may physically fit, but any '06 & up needs to have car reprogrammed to use the swapped radio. Dealership visit or find someone with the programming tool.

Plus a radio from a truck may not have the right 'code' to be accepted by the car's computers. Do you have OnStar or XM radio? Again, the truck radio may not pair up.

Mine has lost a channel (right front) along with the CD changer that never worked and I am looking for an aftermarket unit to replace the radio, iPod adaptor & bluetooth speaker that I have bolted on. One unit to handle it all is my goal.

Welcome to the forum.

The left front speaker in my 2007 just started making a loud vibrating noise on bass notes. I've never had audio problems with a car - where should I go for repairs? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Does it sound like it's loose somehow or blown?

Maybe try Mickey shores or whatever car audio might be near you to have it checked out...

Yes, it does sound like it's loose - I'll look up the nearest car audio place here in St. Louis. Thanks for the help!
