If you are talking about fitting the facelift wider screen to a pre-facelift, I can't see that ever being possible. Different resolutions, aspect ratios and software design.
The best option for a larger screen, but retaining OEM look and functionality would be an aftermarket android screen. You obviously also get the benefits of things like Google maps, waze, carplay, android auto etc
I think Tobias Moers said in one interview that in AMG the screen needs to be positioned lower, so that the driver can see right front corner. In case one install bigger screen, this will prevent visibility.

It is, but the entire interface is designed for that wider aspect ratio and the corners of the facelift version are much more rounded than the android one.
Have had it half installed but I wouldn't recommend it just yet as my unit has terrible light bleed.; it could just be my unit or it could be a widespread thing. They are currently working with me to try and get that resolved and I will be sure to post my full thoughts once that is sorted (after all, customer service is everything).
Other than the light bleed everything has been positive so far. It's snappy, responsive and integrates very nicely with the OEM functions such as 360 camera and radio.
Its narrower bezels (especially on the sides) and slightly wider aspect ratio make it look much more modern.

Very cool! What do you mean by light bleed? Did it come with everything you needed to install it?
This is the light bleed on my unit (the bright white lighting at the edges - this is a completely black image). It's only really visible on dark backgrounds, but that includes the stock system and using night mode of google maps or waze, so it kinda sucks.
