I have a 2015 GS F-Sport and there a few minor interior upgrades from the 2016+ refresh that I like more aesthetically and gives it that slight kiss of a more luxurious feel. In particular the middle dash/console area I've highlighted below in the bullet points and was wondering if these components are a simple one for one swap?
I found a local junk yard with a wrecked black interior 2016 GS F-Sport and can get these parts for very reasonable costs and was seeking advice if these can be simply swapped or this require a Peasodos special DYI project? I've attached my interior photo and that of the 2016+ redesign as a reference. Looking at these parts they appear interchangeable but not sure, any assistance would be appreciated... I'm looking at you Peasodos
The 4 things I really like from the 2016+ refresh are
1. The stitched palm rest thingy
2. The shift ****
3, Center clock and vent redesign look.
4. The rear view mirror

It's not a direct swap, few members have tried it but the way it mounts to the 2016 nav controls is slightly different than 2015. I think the clips are in different positions. So you would have to figure out a way to attach it.
You could however get the entire nav controls from the 2016 with the wrist rest and swap it directly into your 2015. All the buttons will work. It's plug and play. I've actually been on the lookout for an affordable one but the junkyards I found are asking too much for it.
2. The shift ****
This is a direct swap, just need the shift **** and I think the boot. If you get the black shift panel with shift boot and **** it will be easier to swap.
3, Center clock and vent redesign look.
You could wire up the 2016 clock, but you won't be able to control it. It's controlled by the 2016+ head unit. You could potentially wire come buttons to adjust the clock and just hide it somewhere.
I actually got my hands on a 2016 clock and center dash trim, since I retrofitted the 2016 head unit I can wire it up and everything should work. I bought a plug(the 2016 clock has a different shape plug than 2015) and made a harness, I'm going to wire it up soon, using wiring diagrams, 3 wires go to the existing clock plug and 2 go to the head unit.
4. The rear view mirror
This one I believe is a direct swap. I don't have any interest in doing it myself since I'm perfectly content with my 2013 rear view mirror.
Ask and I shall receive, the man has spoken! Thanks dude, I will see if this yard has the head unit too, but your tips and guidance is great start, thank you.

You need the head unit and the 12.3" display(the 2016+ display is different with updated graphics and full screen). The upgrade is a direct swap for your 2015.
The pre-2015 mirrors seem to have a long wire lead.
The 2015+ GS mirror seems to have the plug integrated.
The 2016 RX mirror has a lead, though seemingly not as long as the pre-2016 GS wire lead.
I couldn't find good enough pictures of the plugs to tell if they are interchangeable.
Rearview parts to look at in more detail:
2013 GS 87810-0W750 has long wire
2015+ GS 87810-0WA90 has integrated plug
2016 RX 87810-0E120 has wire
I'm pretty sure even if the plugs were different you could look at wiring diagrams and rewire it correctly and everything would work. Both mirrors seem to have the same exact functions.
