I read the CLA forum that the radio and the screen has to change together, the resolution output on our current radio will not support screen higher then 5.8. It is possible to swap a new radio and screen in there but that need to be coded by the dealer ($300) an hour labor plus if you get the Nav version you need to buy a new nav disc $300 plus a fan for the system. Someone did it on the CLA forum.It seems entirely plausible that it would be as easy as a software update to upgrade, but it could also have something do do with the hardware instead so it is hard to say. If there is an update, they may hold off on offering it right away just to keep some exclusivity for the newest model.
