    The MFD on the '06+ is significantly different than that of the '04-'05. It has a higher resolution, diffent colors and graphics and has the capability of handling higher data loads.

    Also will not work with CAN-View (an after-market device for reading a lot of interesting parameters from the CAN bus of the car).
