It will NOT without some major modifications that is most likely beyond anyone at this point.

Totally different architecture.

The F series uses MOST and the G Series uses Ethernet.

And that's just the start of the differences - electrical and physical.

Why? That does not answer the OP question.

You have to essentially take off the entire front of the dashboard to remove the KOMBI in a G20 and it will not even communicate with the rest of the F30 Systems.

That's the 6WB from an F30 which is definitely "easy" to do. I doubt anyone will ever retrofit a G20 6WB cluster into an F30.

Opps... I just read 6WB. Didn't even see the G20 part, pretty sure they probably in different size.

But anyway the G20 cluster is also 6WB seriously can they call that 7WB hence the new model🙃
