Friends: 0 |  I accidentally destroyed my touchscreen! *cry* Loaded a collapsible bed frame and I pushed in between the front seats and somehow I smashed it into the touchscreen display unit in my dash. How would I go about replacing it? I'm sure the warranty doesn't cover me breaking it.  The screen lights up still but it doesn't register me pressing on it. The cracks look like a spiderweb. Help! |

Friends: 3 | Re: I accidentally destroyed my touchscreen! *cry* If you get one off of Ebay, make sure it is a Navigation screen, since you have Package 6. Also, depending on your deductible, you could make a claim on your insurance and get a new or certified one from the dealer. |

Unless you know how to replace the screen yourself, and that's if you can find the correct screen on ebay, this may be your only option. Gool luck. | |

Friends: 1 | Re: I accidentally destroyed my touchscreen! *cry* Get a dealer quote using a certified used/refurbished screen, then decide if you want to make the insurance claim. |

Friends: 0 | Re: I accidentally destroyed my touchscreen! *cry* Also sorry to hear about the damage. Depending on your deductible from your insurance, purchasing one as refurbished may be the best option. I don't have any idea how much those touch screens cost. |
