Unlocking navigation without radio

So, I bought a 2008 TL with an aftermarket radio. I still have the navigation and the “enter code” screen pops up. Is there any way I can enter the code without the numbered buttons from the radio? Any way at all I can bypass it? Would like to tweak the settings.

Thanks so much.

the navi screen is a touch screen... you don't use the radio preset buttons to enter the navi code.

Oh serious?? That should be good news then. I am pretty sure the dvd player in the trunk is dirty/broken. Could that be why the touchscreen is not working?

If I switch to reverse before the “enter code” screen comes up, the reverse camera will pop up for just a second. I just want to use my backup camera 🥲

Actually looks like this might be the cure:
