Swapping Nav Screens between '09 and '10 LX (1 Viewer)

[trudd]

Does anyone have experience swapping their nav screen between two different model year LXs? I have a new-to-me 2010 LX with a yellow screen that I'd like to fix. I have access to a donor Nav screen from an '09 LX, although the UI is a tad different. The '09 has a nice dark UI, and the '10 is a very bright, very blocky white UI.

Functionally, I believe the biggest difference is that the 2010 allowed for music playback via bluetooth. I don't exactly need that feature - I'll either use AUX input or eventually a VLine. Both cars have the Rear Entertainment System.

I've done some digging on this thread, where @lx200inAR had some great points about micro-updates during the 09-11 model years. 2011 LX 570 - Sat/Nav/Radio Swap - Different Part #’s? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/2011-lx-570-sat-nav-radio-swap-different-part-s.1283598/

Has anyone experimented with this, or will I potentially be the first?

I have one more day with the donor LX.

I pulled out the screen on the '09 and the '10 to get part numbers. I didn't have the guts to swap the screens and test it because, well, I'm not an electrical engineer and I don't know if there are enough differences in the wiring that could cause real damage.

2009 LX Part Number - 86430-60031

2010 LX Part Number - 86431-60231

I thought for a moment about swapping the actual touchscreen panels between the units, but quickly decided against pulling two units apart and possibly ruining them both.

I think my best option now is to find the 2010 LX nav screen on eBay. There many small variations in part numbers here. Does anyone have guidance on how much leeway exists here? Or do I need to find an exact match for the exist part number (86431-60231)?
