my 2006 tl navi screen cracked, anybody have any solutions for this?? i really dont wanna spend 3k for a new one at the dealer when mine works fine just the sreen cracked and the LCD is pitch black. Is there someone that can fix this or a website that sells just the replacement part for the component??

 

ebay ... look for a replacement screen ... look up leedogg if i remember correctly he had a similar issue and was able to swap in a new screen from ebay

 

do u happend to know the part name so i can search it on ebay? leedogg didnt show up

 

Just look up "acura tl navigation" in eBay and scroll down the list. They are usually $399 or around there. I'm pretty sure it's just a plug n play. Good luck.

 

Damn, you remembered that VQPower? lol good memory. heres the thread sickboy, i ended up getting a navi off ebay then having my tech guy swap out just the touch screen.

May I ask how on earth you cracked your nav screen? Was there a young lady and a night to remember involved?

 

my kid had a baseball in the back seat and threw it and it hit the navi screen and cracked it

 

thanks guys for the support hopefully i find a unit on ebay, wish they made just the LCD parts.

 

will a 2004 or 2005 navi unit fit my 2006?? they look alike

 

Not sure. I would try and stick with the exact same year if you can, if you want to swap out navi units. Variations in the unit that came out of my car and the ebay one I picked up led us to just swap out screens to be safe. This involved quite a bit of dissasembly/reassembly though.

 

Damn...kids are expensive.

 

04-06 screens are the same.

 

^ That's correct. The connections are the same from 04-06 and change slightly with 07-08.

You should be able to pick one up for less than $500.

 

Is the outter layer cracked or just the LCD under it? I have a LCD unit I bought on eBay for a problem like this. It doesnt have the touch screen glass on it, but the LCD assembly under it. If your touchscreen glass is ok, I might consider selling the replacement LCD to you.

And no, I don't know how to tell if its just the LCD or touchscreen glass that is cracked.

 

It's usually the touch panel that breaks. If you still have a good image behind the spider webs, then the lcd is ok.

You can replace just the touch panel for very little money, the hard part is finding one that has the right connection to the board. I've taken apart a few and it's not too bad.

 

well the glass is craked bad and the LCD dosent turn on so im guessing its the whole screen

 

Well, if you can find the touch screen part and need the LCD behind it, let me know.

 

Ok thanks bro, I'll see if I find one

 

btw, my screen costs less than the screens on eBay right now. so def see what you can find!

 

How much wer u thinking of selling the LCD for?

 

Wasn't more than 120 or so or I wouldn't have bought it. Let me dig through my eBay emails and get back to ya.

I'm sure it was less than that... I just don't recall.

 

So, I found out the price I paid. Keep in mind, its just the LCD screen. No touch screen (I'll post pics if you want). I paid all of 60 bucks for it. I have not tested it to ensure it works. I mainly bought it for the back light assembly so that I would have something in the event mine died (LCD fluorescent back lights done last forever). I'd let you have it for what I paid (plus shipping of course).

You could even get away without the touch screen as the joystick will do everything for you, just not as cool as touch though!
