Ciao Alessio io ho una C3 del 2017 vorrei sapere se possibile cambiare solo il display e metterci quella dell'anno 2018

Ciao Enrico, l'operazione è fattibile ma non ha un costo "popolare". Mi ero informato e tra acquisto del pezzo, codifica dell'elettronica, conservazione dei comandi al volante, ecc ecc, si sfiorano i 400€. Su facebook c'è la pagina C3 club italia, uno dei membri ha il know how dell'argomento, a quanto pare lo ha eseguito diverse volte.
