Hello. Thought I’d found an appropriate thread but it was relating to the TFT screen for the Speedo.

Question - is it possible to upgrade the standard 5” touch screen found in most post-2016 Lounge models to the 7” uConnect touch screen with CarPlay as found in the more expensive models?

Have seen a couple of units floating around on eBay but just wondered how easy it is to sort this, if dealers can do an upgrade etc. Unit itself seems to be the same dimensions and same-shaped slot for it.

Cheers!

Mmmm not sure really personally I’m not up to date on facelift models maybe typecastboy could advise?
 
Unfortunately I don't know as I haven't done any Facelift models.

I would like to think you could especially as their footpring is the same. If the replacement has DAB or GPS you would need to install an appropriate aerial or GPS receiver, which shouldn't be an issue. It's something I have thought about for when I do get my first facelift.
