The only viable thing like this you could do is to swap your 2010 ECU for a 2011 ECU. Even then I'm not sure which modules you'd need to swap. Maybe just the main ECU, or maybe just whichever sub-ECU (BCM?) runs the dash display? But there's a reason dealers don't regularly provide hardware ECU upgrades in older cars like this: sometimes there are lots of other undocumented changes to account for as well. Maybe they changed the vendor for the oil pressure sensor and it gives a different voltage reading now, and you switch to a 2011 ECU and you get a permanent low oil pressure light. Who knows, random example.
