Yes, except you need to be careful to isolate the chassis of the radio from the body, and make sure the antenna doesn't connect electrically to the body either.

PLEASE convert the car to negative earth if fitting auxillary bits and pieces. It is a minefield trying to isolate radios etc. There are plenty of past threads showing the 'easy way' to do it.
