More people will probably see this if you put it in the general C7 section, rather than the Southeast regional subforum, but...
Short answer: maybe, but not easily or inexpensively. At a minimum, it would require replacing the HMI module, and having the dealer program it to your car. That's IF the 2016 HMI is compatible with the other modules in the 2015. The 2015 HMI costs about $500, I believe. The 2016 will be at least that much. Then, of course, you'd need a grill with the cameras, and all the cabling and interconnects used.
The 2015 HMI has been successfully transplanted into the 2014 C7. I believe I've read here that some company is working to try to get the 2016 unit working in older models. But, to date, there is no product or do-it-yourself guide to making this work.
