Ok so i have this older head unit in my car, i was wondering if i could buy a head unit from the same model year (2014) and switch it out, the unit with the bigger screen. Is this even possible?

oohh - super basic spec - respect! Our resident expert @pab567 can advise you on what you will need, although with a Swing system, it kind of depends on wiring you have to support any better systems. Face Lifted cars did have a Swing system with handled Android Auto / Apple Carplay which might be an easy Plug and Play option.

The qyestion is what new features are you looking for...

I'd be looking at a halo 9 or similar to go in that space. What OEM features does the existing unit have? Can it do stuff like TPMS etc?

I would like to have android auto in my car but i love having oem parts, i like being able to see the info the "CAR" button provides like showing current fuel consumption and alerts. do you have any suggestions, is it worth the change if not why? but if its worth it do you reccomend any equipment in particular?

You can install one of four different OEM glove box units:

- MIB2 Bolero

- MIB2 Columbus

- MIB2.5 Columbus

You also need to replace display unit:

- for MIB2 Bolero you can use either 6.5" model number 5E0919605H or 8" model number 5E0919605N

- for MIB2 Amundsen and MIB2 Columbus you can use listed above display as well as 6.5" model number 5E0919605J, 8" model number 5E0919606, 8" model number 5E0919605M

- for MIB2.5 Columbus the only display unit that works is 5E0919606D
