Replace cracked navigation screen

[BobbyG]

I have a 2007 Explorer with factory navigation. The navigation screen was hit and cracked. The unit still functions properly. Can the touchscreen be replaced or will I need a new unit?

new unit, unless you feel comfortable and can take apart this one and get another one and place it in. in this case you would have to find another broken one and just swap the screens.

if you decide to replace it, i would recommend going to an aftermarket unit. in te long run it will give better sound, and also have more flexibility.

Thanks. I found a place that will replace the screen for $150, or the screen and LCD for $200 so I sent it to them to see how it turns out. Link below.

Cracked screen?

How did you make out with your screen , I cracked mine the other day

I used the company in the link from the previous reply. They replaced just the glass, not the whole screen. It was $150 and it works fine.

Not that anyone seems to care but the dealer finally sent my unit out to a repair shop to see if it can be fixed after i told them that i contacted a laywer!
