head unit screen cracked
So, a rogue ball was flying around my car and hit and spiderwebbed my head unit....
my question for everyone simply is.. What do i do.... Can i get a replacement screen or glass? Do i go to the dealer and cry warranty and blame it on something else? What suggestions do you guys have.. not trying to spend much money on it to be honest.. but i do want it to be fixed.. Thanks! |

Just go to a place that fixes laptops or cell phones, they might beable to fix it provided they get a screen.

If it is OEM unit, you may have a chat with the folks in the parts department of the dealership and find out if replacement screens are available.
If it's an aftermarket unit, try the same thing on-line to try to find a replacement screen. Redneck method; chip out what's left of the old screen and cut a piece of plex-a-glass and stick it in there .....  humfrz |
