Title: Interchanging displays?
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 14 June 2009, 13:16:43
My facelift MV6, being base model has a nasty old pixelated MID.

My Prefacelift Elite, has a much nicer display, can't recall what it's called offhand...

Are they interchangable? (Obviously I know they'd need reconfig with T2)...

Failing that - how common are the colour displays? I'd love one of those, but seem to recall they have pairing issues to head units?

Ok ta - what's involved with fitting a colour unit then? New loom section, or plug and go?

If I'd had known the old girl was going to be up for sale, I'd not have bought a different car...  :-[

Must persevere with the MV6 now though - I really don't think I'd get away with bringing another vehicle home...  ;D
