good question. if you have access to both vehicles, you can look for the changer DIN cable connection to see if it's a match.
the short answer is - it depends. it depends on the head unit in each vehicle. the changer is a premium option, and requires a specific head unit to control it. not all trims will have this option, very few will.
most CD changers, alpine included, have one multi-pin DIN cable that provides power for the changer, control, and low level audio signal to the head unit.
your year range crosses a generation (i.e. model change). that doesn't always affect the radio directly, but the dash changes so the radio usually does also.
a search on hondapartsdeals.com for the vehicle years and trims you're interested in will tell you compatibility - based on the model numbers of the available factory radios. let me know if you have any problems searching for that or any other questions.
