Morten,
I'm thinking owners of non DIY versions will have to send in their units for the new display install. Right? (I'm not in any hurry, however.)

We've gone around the track several times on how best to approach this but after numerous prototypes we concluded that the right way to incorporate the new OLED display into both existing and new preamps is to:
1) machine a new pocket on the back side of the existing front panels
2) expoxy the new display in place into that pocket using a small amount of epoxy glue in each of the 4 corners of the main OLED board
3) remove and replace the existing dark acrylic front panel inlay with a less dark acrylic front panel inlay for better visibility
4) re-orient the IR receiver module attached to the OLED display into a vertical position in order to get clear view into room
5) add the OLED enabling jumper to the V25 board
6) load the OLED enabling firmware into the V25 board
7) add the new 2x7 OLED control cable
8 ) if required, replace the shorter existing 2x5 display cable with a longer version
9) attach the existing encoder control cable to the OLED display adapter board
10) remove and discard the existing display mounting board (existing preamps)
Given the above steps, the only practical way to handle upgrading existing V25 based preamps (or upgrading V2 to V25) with an OLED display is to ship the unit here and have us do the conversion work. We'll be adding that as an upgrade service soon.
Best,
Morten
