The control module will likely need to be replaced and it comes integrated with the screen. In any case, the rest of the hardware will add up quickly. And who knows what someone who knows what they're doing will charge for labor.

I believe the existing screen is 7" @ 800x480. I don't know the resolution of the new screen, but it's supposed to be 8", and a Tegra 3 is an awful lot of power for 800x480. The MIB-2 press release said "higher resolution graphics" so I'm hoping they've updated to 720p, but that may be too much since they're also driving the second screen, so practically, I'm going to say 960x540 with a slightly lower resolution between the gauges. That makes it very close to the same (in aggregate) as the new TT.

In addition to the MIB-2 system to replace the MMI, the ATT LTE sim is added with 6 months of free service. An addition 6GB of data is also provided, which can be used beyond the 6 month trial. Traffic is no longer handled by Sirius. B&O is cheaper by $1000, but improved.
