ACURA 2008 RL - HELP with TROUBLESHOOTING

Ok, here's the story. I bought my Acura as a second car. I hand washed the vehicle and the next morning the GPS screen went wild. I checked the disc (no scratches) and the fuse (all good). The screen changes from time to time and this is the variations.
1. black screen with stars...looks like the night sky.
2. GPS Navigation picture in the lower left corner (toggle knob does nothing)
3. (most common) is the screen shows everything behind me while I'm driving (as if in reverse)

A few comments from people...1 ) moisture got in the unit somehow when I was hand washing it (maybe through the sunroof or the windshield...although there has never been a leak) 2) loose wire somewhere underneath when I was detailing the inside

Anyone have any ideas, suggestion, input that I can troubleshoot. Heading out on the road tomorrow and would enjoy the GPS Navigation! Thanks.

I can take a picture and attach it if necessary....

Thanks Ron! Does the Acura boot screen show up when you start the car?

Sounds like someone added a camera override switch... do you see any odd looking switches in or around the console?

Is there anything odd happening with the back up lights?
