Can the Mercedes-Benz GLC be upgraded with the 2020 model's original large screen?

It can be upgraded, but the modification is technically challenging. It is recommended to have it done at a 4S shop. Below is more information about the central control panel: 1. Introduction: The central control screen, also known as the car's onboard computer, is an automotive information product designed for the special operating environment of vehicles, featuring resistance to high temperatures, dust, and vibrations, as well as integration with the car's electrical system. The onboard computer can perform all the functions of a home computer, supporting in-car internet access, navigation, phone calls, and more. It can also connect to mobile phones and cameras, recording information sent by the car's positioning system. 2. Mercedes-Benz Central Control: Mercedes-Benz names its human-machine interaction system COMAND. The operation controls of the COMAND system are very simple, consisting of only one knob and two shortcut keys. However, there are actually five shortcut keys on the central control panel that can directly access corresponding channel options. The advantage of the COMAND system lies in its extremely simple and intuitive interface, with five main submenu options displayed on almost any screen, allowing quick access to desired functions.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLC for several years and have researched upgrading to the 2020 model's original large screen. To be honest, upgrading the GLC's display is technically feasible, but it depends on your vehicle's specific model year. The 2020 model's original screen interface may not be compatible with older versions, such as differences in wiring plugs or connector sizes. Many modification shops offer specialized adapter kits to avoid software conflicts. I recommend first contacting a Mercedes-Benz dealership to check the compatibility list for safety. By the way, the new screen offers better clarity, faster response, and much improved navigation and music interfaces. After upgrading myself, the driving experience improved significantly. But don't attempt DIY disassembly—it's easy to damage the car's electronic systems. It's better to hire a professional technician to avoid wasting money.
Replacing the 2020 model's original large screen for a Mercedes-Benz GLC requires considering the cost. I've done the math: the original screen itself might cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and with installation fees, the total expense is significant. If the old screen is just lagging or not aesthetically pleasing, it might be better to first try cleaning the system and updating it. From another perspective, the upgrade to the new large screen is noticeable, with features like a smarter interface and more responsive touch controls. However, if the budget is tight, saving up for a newer model might be more cost-effective. A related tip is to check with certified modification shops for discount promotions—you might save some money. Remember to test all functions after installation, ensuring features like the reversing camera work properly.
