Can you swap the 4.5 12" uconnect system in a 2020 to the 5.0 12" uconnect by buying the new 5.0 head unit?

Is this possible? Just buy the newer one or is there more to it? Looks like the part is about $750. I have a 2020 truck and just bought a 2023 for my dad and the difference is night and day between the two.

This probably gets asked once a week.

I just made one of the early threads that has details towards the end a sticky.

TL;DR - LOTS OF PARTS needed, not just the head unit.

Yup this ^. Also note that right now the uConnect modules seem to be severely backordered. I've had the parts together to upgrade my '22 from the 8.4 Non-Nav to the 12", but I can't get my hands on the module yet.
