They are swapable but they are expensive to buy even second hand (if you can find one). Not sure about the wiring but I have the Prestigio model and can fit one if I wanted. But wether the wiring is the same on eleganza / dynamis I am not sure.
I enquired about this when I first got the car( 2009) and was quoted £300 fitted but when the dealer checked he said there were non in the country and it would have to be ordered from Fiat Italy. I had already bowled the idea out due to price and an order from Turin put the tin hat on it.
There is a thread on this somewhere, use Thread tools to find it.

It is not a straight swap.
I have (somewhere) the wiring diagram to do this which I purchased from ebay (italy). No idea where I've put it though
Having previously retrofitted the full sat nav/DSP/Telephone/Changer monte in a 166 which included making a lot of the loom from scratch, then I have to say that the instructions were not that daunting to be honest - although a virtual strip out of the seats, lower console, some headlining (not as bad if you have the sky dome) would put a lot of people off.
tarqs is correct re price - the cheapest currently in the cars homeland on ebay is £250.
The other thing you need to do (which was not a requirement on the 166) would be to wire in a time-delay for it to power-up to avoid upsetting the canbus body ecu.
Definitely do-able if you can find the kit (WITH THE CODE!!!!) for the right price and have the time & patience (the 166 took the best part of 2 weekends to do it properly).
If I do ever track down a reasonably priced unit then I personally will go for it probably for the hell of doing it........ but if before then Mirrorlink ever gets there ar$e in gear and finally starts to cover windows phones as they have been promising for the last 18 months then I'll be going down that route instead.
