5.8’ to 7’ screen question



Exact same connectors
hey guys i tried swapping out the 5.8 inch screen to 7 inch screen supposedly they are interchangeable and plug and play. When i installed the 7 inch screen nothing was displayed. Anybody have any ideas the only thing I can think of is it needs to be programmed with Vin from other car but nothing is even displayed. Has anybody done this already?

Could it be a DOA or power issue?
Otherwise, it should show something on screen.

*** there is another thread about this same subject where you asked the same question.

Hey man, did you ever manage to figure out how to do this? Was thinking of doing the same thing to upgrade my standard 5.8 inch display.

No worries mate thanks for the reply, I think I'll just look at an aftermarket Android unit, seems a lot less headache.
