rear camera upgrade

Happy Memorial Day All,

I recently sat in a 2016 C Class and noticed how beautiful and vibrant the rear-view camera is when displayed in COMAND. Naturally, the question becomes, is it possible to simply get a 2016 C207 camera and install it on a 2010 C207 and get a better image? Has anyone tried this to know if the connector and camera swap is plug and play?
Thanks!
