Default Replace 8inch screen by 12inch

Hi all, do you think it is possible to replace the 8"screen by a 12" after sale? My 2017 screen is a bit frustrating and I now regret not going after the big screen...
Regards,
Julien

You would be better off trade in your current car and buy a new one. Changing the screen, if possible, will be expensive. The 12" display unit alone costs $8k (after discount).

One detail missing though, isn't the 8" screen controlled using a **** while the 12" uses a mouse control?

Not sure since I have never actually seen one, but from what I remember from the manuals.

The Display Audio (non-Nav) has the 8" screen, a FWD RX with Nav has an 8" screen and the AWD Nav screen is 12.3"

It is better to install after-market 12" with Touch Screen and Android. Should cost about $700-$800 depending on the model.

It seems apparent that the dash board "styling" is moving away from the integrated
screen under a hood and toward a dropped into a slot configuration. Just a matter
of time that we all just whip our personal tablet with phone/Nav/music/movies/text/
pictures of pets into a powered and connected port. Buy any size screen you can
afford and switch out when you change drivers!
