You need to change the headunit as well to Command for the larger resolution to work.

I am not sure, but I think yes since the SD card attaches itself to the cars VIN number... As long as the new head unit is connected just like the old one it should work.

it has to be coded to the car, so a straight swap wont work.

Just a update on my own installation as well. I got the comand system and the new screen from ebay. The installation process was approximately 30 minutes. The hard part is to activate the comand. I have to wait until Monday to go to the dealership and have it activated. So everyone out there trying to change your audio 20 to comand. It is possible and surprisingly it is all plug&play.
