Red face comand keypad

The other day I decided to clean up the numeric keypad in my s430. a couple of buttoms used to get stuck. I tried one of those electronic circuits cleaner and I just screwed everithing. The plastic behind the buttoms got eaten by this chemical. Now some of them felt off. I would like to know if it is possible to replace this keypad or I would need to replace the whole unit including the screen.

Thanks.

big mistake Molly maid... YOu have just bought yourself a new comand.
you can try radioman.com, he works on benz radios, good luck.

FYI.

In the future, keypads are plastic and not electrical components. the components are behind protected from sprays and cleaners. The best way to clean you unit is a damp rag and mild cleaner. NO Chemicals.

yes, that is what this one says. But if now that I noticed in the very fine print that some kind of plastic might get damaged.
Thanks for the replies.
