Not likely, unless the other car had an external amp, and wiring would have to be run seperate or you'll need a custom harness. Your best bet would be to get a cheap head unit for the other car with a built in amp. Can be had for under $100.

According to the service manual..the amplification comes from the amp...so without an amp along with the unit..it shouldn't work. Plus, the radio is connected to the amp with a multi-pin connector. A good CD/Radio can be had in the aftermarket very cheaply, with an easier install.
