Upgrade Comand 4.0 to NTG4.5

Is it possible to upgrade the Comand NTG4.0 on my 2011 E350 to Comand NTG4.5? I suspect I would need a new head unit and Instrument cluster. Anyone attempt this or is it just too expensive.

Yes, it possible ... you needs: Headunit, LCD screen ... it will need new cable (round connector from HU to Screen) ... also some cable swap to power the new screen.

If you want to change to the new Instrument cluster => need special software to make it works ... not easy!

Any idea who does that kind of work in the USA and about what it costs?

Anyone figure this out? Is there a site that just sells all the retrofit parts?
