2019 C3 Aircross screen upgrade

Unread post by LeBaguetteDriver »

Hello!
I recently got my C3 Aircross and it has the Integrated navigation and Connected services, I was wondering if anyone has tried to upgrade the screen to the new 10.2 inch model.
I am thinking to upgrade it but not sure how much of a hassle it can be.
Attaching pictures for reference.
Thank you!

The issue is going to be the compatibility / configuration of the Touchscreen as this version was designed for the facelifted C3 Aircross. There are also changes to functionality in the air conditioning system operation that are different to the touchscreen you have. Whether this will require changing of the Head Unit as well as the screen, then all the BSI and head unit configuration I can't say.

Edit:
I've just checked and the Head Unit behind the dash will also need changing as that's also different with the later facelifted version with the larger touchscreen.

I should add that there will be configuration changes required to both Head Unit and Touchscreen, that will require paid access and a PSA account as the main dealer will not code and configure any units that are: a) not bought new from them and b) that are not designed for the vehicle due to liability if it causes issues with the vehicle.
