Unhappy Alternatives to Acura TL Navi Unit

Hello!

I love my TL but the Navi system and how it works all together is very frustrating. Foolish I bought a TL without the navi unit in the trunk and I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to get any music or radio or anything to play without the screen and can't adjust the clock. I wish I'd just gone with the regular system because I thought I could buy another one but I am worried Ill get another one and it won't work due to the VIN numbers and the specifics with the codes needed from Acura.. Anyways... I am stuck now with this model and am wondering what my options are. What can I do? Is there a alternative to Acuras navi system that I can install instead? Or can I buy one of these I see on eBay? Any advise would be great as I feel so stupid for buying this mess!

Thanks in advance for any advise! Your advise is truly appreciated!

1. Nexus 7 tablet, or any other tablet that will fit https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-a...camera-953237/
2. There is a "Tesla" style head unit - it replaces climate control, radio, and because it runs on Android you can install apps, like navigation. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-a...2008-a-983023/
3. There is a "thing" that enables you to connect anything to the factory screen, assuming that screen works. But no idea how it "connects" and how it's called.
