Man! Special thanks to Peasodos letting me even know this was possible. Chungvatra, thanks as well. Got it working. Lucky me, it was just a card issue. Popped the new SD card and it fired right up.
Right, which junkyard and how much? I am looking for a screen myself.
It's not junkyard specific, you have to search. It's listed under tv screens. Not sure which year you are trying to upgrade to. I have a 2015 for sale. It's not full screen though. See pictures.
Any 2016+ Head unit will work.
ML or non-ML doesn't matter, literally the only difference is the logo on the face plate, the head units are exactly the same.
I have a 2016 non-nav that I am looking to see if I can replace the smaller 8" screen with the larger 12.3" screen, I don't actually care if the native navigation system works as I will be using screen mirroring or an android OS.
If all head units are the same, should I just be looking to replace the screen instead of my head unit or are there different part numbers for 2016 head units for nav and non-nav options?
Also are the head units vin coded or are you able to just swap as you please? I remember some of the units from my non-Lexud older cars had a PIN you had to enter everytime they were unplugged.

Thanks for any help!
Your head unit might only output the resolution for the 8” screen, so the image may not show correctly on the 12.3” screen. The only way to know for sure what happens is to do it and see what happens.

Ok so with that theory, there are different part #s for various head units?
What about the security, do the head units and screens just drop in or are they VIN coded or otherwise protected?
This is a bit confusion to follow. So what you are saying once you did the 2015 head unit upgrade, the 2016+ was just a simple swap of the screen and headunit?

No, he's saying if you have a 2015, it's a simple swap of the 2016 radio + screen, plug and play.
