Um.. probably not. Well it might if you can source the screen... but I have never seen a place that replaces car screens.

I plan to buy a new one for the sake of replacing it quickly. but i figured it wouldn't hurt to post up to see if anyone knew of anywhere that could repair it

Try checking out shops that repair phone and laptop screens. They may be able to find a replacement screen.

If you're looking to buy one, I found http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109422. The price is in line with others that have sold previously.

Is this in your track car? If so, I'm surprised it hasn't been replaced by gauges or switches or an Android display showing engine info yet.

Thanks, I've already been chatting with the seller of that one

and no, this is not the race car. I bought a BRZ. The race car looks like this, lol:

I'd bet lunch that you can find a replacement screen for it within 20 minutes of googling the radio model number and "screen." Then you will also discover that many manufacturers use the same part.

It probably plugs in with a single ribbon cable.

Don't trash it. Fix it!

Michele, you need to stop punching the screen so hard when the GPS loses its signal! You don't know your own strength!

I have scratches all across the steering wheel badge because I get clumsy grabbing my laptop bag from the passenger seat. I'll guess it was a similar dumb move. Doesn't take much.
