Default 2018 radio swap into a 2020?

Hello All, Does anybody know if I swap this: 2018 Ford F-150 Face Plate Radio Trim Piece, Screen, Module, Head Unit - OEM...will it plug and play into my new 2020 F150? My 2020 does not have a CD player...I miss that feature from my 2015. I tried going the USB thumb drive route...it does not work well for me, as my CDs are home made from my vinyl rig. I cannot toggle from "file to file" or "cd to cd" using the thumb drive. Plus the USB drive absolutely does not sound as good. PLEASE...help. I just want to put a real cd played into my truck. BTW - I tried one of the usb plug in CD players...it did not consistently work. Sometimes it does...sometimes it does not recognise my home made cd's. I've found a few complete 2018 "set up's" on ebay - such as this: 2018 Ford F-150 Face Plate Radio Trim Piece, Screen, Module, Head Unit - OEM

You will probably get a quicker, more definitive answer over in the aftermarket stereo/audio sub forum here: https://www.f150forum.com/f30/

tons of F150 specific audio knowledge there. Good luck- I can’t get my usb mode to work right either. Too many burnt CDs in my collection. I just use my iphone as my music source
