I'm brand new to this so don't kill me. I have a 09 XF Pre Lux i'm wondering is it possible to get an aftermarket touch screen or can I upgrade to an 2013 in dash touchscreen. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I think the simple answer to your questions is "no and no".
Well not without massive amounts of money, hassle, time and knowledge.
It would probably be cheaper to trade in your 2009 for a 2013!

 

 

I'll bring a different answer to the party:

Yes and probably not.

There are multiple videos on youtube of aftermarket infotainment running in the XF. They use an adapter to splice into the GVIF bus - here's an example. Here's another.

I'm taking it a stage further - I'm replacing the touchscreen in my dash with a high-resolution one, a high resolution reversing camera, and running an android in-car PC to run apps like waze and spotify. I'm in the process of decoding all the CANBUS codes for the heated seats, etc to code an app to replace that part of the menu system.

Running the newer in-car entertainment if it was just a case of replacing enough parts of the system with the newer one would probably be possible (if expensive) but I suspect you'd run into real problems with data incompatibilities, recoding canbus IDs, etc. It's probably not possible and without a doubt a lot more work that just replacing the system with a custom one as above.

 

It possible to install Head Unit and Touchscreen from 2013MY, but it will be expensive and hard to find who could solve wiring for new components (there are a lot of difference in connections in new head unit) and reprogram modules and update software for them, also needs to reprogram CCF file.
About aftermarket screen, as for me it's impossible to install, because the Geniune touchscreen is the part of CAN system and MOST (fiber optic) system, so if you remove it, some component does't work such as: air ventilation, seat heater, ICE, NAV, rear camera, etc.
