Try a salvage yard, or check ebay for broken units that you could buy, take what you need, and re-sell without it.

Found this:
Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REC-Navigation-GPS-Joystick-Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38653QQihZ001QQite mZ110215575171QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)
Good luck!

been waiting to hear someone complain about that stupid design.


I'm NOT looking forward to dealing with that...hopefully it'll still be under warranty then

I know a guy in CA on another forum that has been fixing them for the LX platform for a couple of years. You'd be without your nav for a few days and I'm not sure what he charges, but it can be fixed.

didnt they update this design or something part way through the model year of 06 or 07??

I think it looks the same but I heard it is different?

I just looked on EBAY... if you search the REC unit... you will see them advertised with the "Revised Joystick".. or "new style Joystick"

I thought they changed it.. Look for another dealer or maybe the unit is only sold with the new joystick...

I just had my XK in the dealer a few days ago to have the VES installed. The dealer could not get my REC to program correctly with the DD player so they replaced it!

I would think I got the newer design...

How far out of warranty?
