Not the correct part and they are not able to be interchanged as they are internally different. Your car requires part number 379805BAA01 which is the 4-wire part. Also, on Honda and Toyota the aftermarket sensors tend to cause other issues because they are not exactly like the OEM parts. I have seen lean and rich codes as well as odd sensor codes from new aftermarket parts that vanished as soon as an OE part was installed. The MAF is a critical component in the system so trying to use the wrong part isn't going to work.
