Swap 2023 8 inch mib3 to the newer 5FJ035869E?

[Jokke]

Just wondering if its possibly to just swap the 8 inch screen in a 2023 to the newer 5FJ035869E, with out any coding? Is it just a straight swap or will there be problems?

I have the 2023 one with out fullscreen Android auto and I have seen used ones of the newer headunit for just £150, if its just a straight swap i think it will be worth it.

Do you have a picture of your existing system?

100% not a straight swap

I dont think its possibly to just install the software from the new one, there is another button layout, could course some issues. Thats why my theory is that if I swap the unit that would work. If there are not another module the new unit relays on I dont see why it wouldnt be an easy swap. But on the other hand my knowledge about these systems are very limited.

Your screen is a complete control module..

It has component protection, parameterisation & coding. It also has SWaP

So if I just replaced my current unit with one that has the same specs that would probably work. I understand that there are some minor diffrences between the newer 5FJ035869E and my unit.
Basicly its just to try it out then and see what happens.

Even then, it’s not plug and play
