Just looking to replace the OEM screen, but if the cost becomes too prohibitive, I will change it to CIC.

Never hurts to ask. Your SA should also help you get some help on covering the cost or labor since it isn't cheap. You an find screens sometimes on eBay or ask around. They are easy to install.

Good luck.

Thank for the advice. The car has 65k miles. I was thinking that since the screen is not just for the nav or the radio (e.g. climate controls), there was a chance it could be covered. However, when I spoke to my SA, he did not think it would be. I will start hunting for a used one on ebay. Since I am fairly handy, I may open up the monitor portion and see if I can replace it with a new LCD screen as well. Will post a DIY if I do that!
