03' SSV Kenwood Replacement

Wondering if anyone knows if the newer OEM stereos (Kenwoods I believe) will fit in a 03' SSV without having to make alterations to the dash. My Kenwood KDC-MPV7019 is very intermittent, most of the time the face plate illuminates but it doesn't respond to any inputs like volume, station changes etc. My thought is to replace it with the same version if I can find one or get another stock because I want to still have my transom control work.

Do face plates go bad?

Any thoughts?

Thanks...

Did you mean WD-40? Not sure I understand what you mean. Thanks...

Yes that's what I was trying to say.

No problem, that should fix it. I sold the 2001 on Monday and have mixed feelings about it.
