Radio screen
My radio screen on my 2012 s550 went totally black the the dealer verified that the screen is bad. They want 6500.00 to replace it. It has a theft code so you just can’t get a used screen and switch it. Has anybody ever had their screen fixed? Or has anybody “unlocked” a screen from another car and successfully reinstalled it in a different car. I am told that only a dealer has the software to program the screen to the car. Thoughts?
Thanks

I don't have any info on screen repair, but I would swap it for an android screen: https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...uchscreen.html
