Trying to figure out best options here:
1) Repair it
2) Buy new HU
3) Buy aftermarket HU
For the guys who got it repaired, were you able to have an inkling as to what the repairman did? Does the connector look changed out? Was the unit opened to ensure proper connections on the board? Was the actual LCD changed out?
Also wanted to know what aftermarket options are out there, I am going to do a little research myself. Any suggestions for replacement units?
Also wanted to know what are the downfalls of taking the OEM unit out? Bluetooth connectivity? Will aux jack in center console still work? Will controls on steering wheel work?

New one will cost 800 - 500 core = $300 from tisherbmw. Used ones usually go for around $200.
If you take out the OEM you will lose bluetooth aux and steering wheel controls. You will also not be able to have the dealer update the car through coding.
