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.😄
