05 Acura TL Navi

I recently found out that my navigation unit is toast....I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or site where I could purchase another unit. The dealership wanted around 3 grand but told me I could probably find a used one somewhere else... Anything would help. Thanks

What is wrong with it, exactaly?

You know you can send the head unit (If that is the problem) to Alpine, who makes the system for Acura, and get it fixed for $150.

The screen went completely blank on it. I took it to an Acura dealership and they said the display is probably alright but the dvd unit in the trunk is probably bad. I will look into the alpine thing and see what they can do. Thanks

The head unit (in the trunk) is what Alpine repairs. Call em.

I'm surprised that the stealer didn't quote you $1,500 for it and then send it to Alpine for the repair.

The dealership said it was going to be around 2 grand to fix it but he suggested I just wait and try to find one on Ebay. If I happen to find one on Ebay are they easy to replace?
