Did you actually trouble shoot it or is your comand just broken? There are many threads on here about how there are many devices connected to comand via a fiber optic cable and you can get a bypass to see which device might be bad, could be the cd player, sirius, mobile phone, teleaid, etc. If your particular module that's bad isn't critical like the cd player, you could just use a bypass loop and not spend money fixing it. Otherwise if it's the audio gateway, there are companies where you can just send it out and they will repair it for you, that may actually be cheaper than a unit on ebay. Or you could just try and get one of those new android units to replace your comand.

I wasn't referring to a specific one. I see them selling on aliexpress but they usually don't have that many orders. I think there's a separate thread that mentions one that someone else tried out.
