So I just bought a 2016 CX-9 Sport about a week ago with a spidered infotainment screen. At the time, I thought i could just get a new digitizer for $30, which I had ordered. I didn't realize that mine was the 7" model as the digitizer i ordered said it would fit the 2016 CX-9 Sport, so didn't even think twice about it. Now Ive found full LCD's for about $350 plus tax/shipping. But since these (really just the glass digitizer) seem to go bad often, I would hate to have to buy another in a couple years. I know the previous owner already did it once according to the car history i got from the mazda dealership. Should I try to find a used 8" lcd kit that I should replace it with so that digitizer replacements are cheaper (plus i already have that 8" one) or consider some aftermarket android unit? Not sure i trust those though. i really only need basic use and carplay. I did already buy the carplay upgrade skit for $65, but haven't installed it yet as i planned to do it when i installed the new digitizer. Suggestions?
I am in sunny southwest florida, so it does hot down here, but i did at least buy a windshield shade to try to help minimize the impact on the screen when parked for long periods.
