Is it possible to replace the 8” screen for the 12.3” screen?

Hello fellow owners,

I just bought an used 2021 J22 Tekna+, the only thing that I find underwhelming is the size of the infotainment screen; I am wondering if a screen swap is possible by just buying the new screen and connecting it, I am hoping - of course - that the connection/wiring remains the same.

Has anyone tried this? Has anyone seen anybody try this?

It would be cheaper to sell the car and buy one with a bigger screen.

There are already quite a few used examples of the ‘widescreen’ unit available online for circa £100-150. It would be interesting to hear from anybody who eventually tried swapping the units to see what specifically, if any problems, were encountered - unit didn’t physically fit, wiring not the same, can be connected but unit not recognised (i.e. licensing/authentication), software issues etc.

Maybe one day someone will take a punt.
