    I managed to tear the screen protector without damaging the screen (an alu pipe did that, enough said). Been looking for a replacement part, something, but I'm most likely not using the proper wording. What's the part or an alternative and how do I fix this?

    I keep finding these "digitizer" parts. Is that what that part looks like? I thought it was just a piece of plastic, nothing electronic.

    Update again. Took the screen out and it's 100% the digitizer. I ripped off the piece of plastic and it seems like I damaged some electric connectors as well - the digitizer looks pretty but doesn't work anymore. If you need to take the plastic off at least try heat to see if you can undo the glue or cut it with an exacto or scisors.

    I found the digitizer on aliexpress and ebay - now I'm weighin the costs of replacing it or getting a 3rd party NAV which can display the maps.

    PS: looking at the cable, the numbers of wires seems off. Checking now more in detail.

    Good luck convincing him on that. He had a post with the rule that no one reply for him to read the check engine light codes and provide him the fix. He reiterated that over and over.

    At Toyota parts, the head unit for 6 inch is: 86804-47110 . The picture has it right.

    Why not replace just the digitizer?
