W177 big display installation

Does anybody install after the purchase of the car the big display?
My V177 came from factory with the basic small display and I have found used the oem double big displays.
I just want to ask if the installation is plug n play or does it require coding.
Thanks in advance.

More than likely will require coding. Installation from my research doesn't look too difficult to do. It's just allowing it to work is the bigger problem.

My car was in stock at Mercedes local dealer and I didn't want to wait for 3 months in order to receive a full customized Merc.
Also, if I ordered it with the big double display, I would pay 2K extra except of display cost because of taxes.
I will receive my new Merc by the end of next week.
I will keep you updated concerning the retrofit process.

i know, on those Audi car, in China, people are doing that, to re-new the software/update, after that you get more functions out of it. but you need to have people who know how to do this to help you. the New A250 and A220 are kind of new, i don't know if there is people there know how to do that kind of upgrade.

Or if you can do it yourself, let us know.

you need special program things to help you,

Hi.
I have been quoted £3000 +vat (GBP) to upgrade my 2x 7" screens to 2x 10"
Apparently its not just a case of changing the screens, the radio controller unit has to be changed too.

yes, not only on hardware but the software also need to update.

i found a shop can upgrade ACC, a lot of things need to change/program
