Is it possible to change from the 2.3 productivity screen to the 4.2 screen? I'm really tired of the black and blue screen

I would think so, but probably also requires some FORscan work involved.

You are talking about the screen in front of the steering wheel right? if so you need to change the whole dash, which has been done. you will need to find an XLT dash with equal or less miles than yours. You can increase the odometer mileage to match but not decrease. There are threads on replacing the dash on here

Gauge cluster / instrument cluster, not dash*
(don't mind me)

It can be done but you'll need to find a donor cluster with similar or higher mileage.
Not sure what happens if you swap in a lower mileage cluster...

If the donor cluster has higher mileage you are stuck with that mileage. if the donor cluster has lower milage you can use Forscan to increase the mileage to match your current mileage. its been done.

With the OP having a MY 2021 it may be fun finding one with lower mileage.

What have you done about the keys and cluster? I have been told by dealerships that I need to reprogram the keys
