Default 2017 is350 / 2015 rcf navi screen

I just got my wife a 2017 Lexus is350 and I was wondering,if the navi screen could fit the rcf the screen itself seeing the same size is the rcf I measured both and they are the same size and the dash is almost the same I wonder if the wires are the same any inputs...

The screen on both just pulls toward you and out. And unplug it. You may be the only one right now that has both in their possession. Find out it if looks the same and if it is unplug it and see if the resolution automatically orients itself.

The plugs are probably the same but like you said. It'll be the software that might be the issue with resolution. Split screen function.

Right now. Ours pretty much does 50/50 split. But on the larger screen models it's like 60/40. Does the new IS screen split 50/50?

Are we interested because it would be an upgrade to the stock rcf screen?

Definitely interested in how this turns out...I would check the software version on the new IS compared to the RC. If they are close or similar naming scheme then the new screen might just work fine. Otherwise if its completely different versions then as someone suggested the software might not realize it has a larger screen to use.
