So, I took the faceplates apart and replaced the screen & board in the bad one.

Not sure the going rate on the faceplate but used complete units seem to go for about $3000.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I think I remember reading about a company that fixed the displays and the price was reasonable.
My CDR220 Head Unit (removeable faceplate) has issues with display, half are missing when turned on. Can I just buy an replacement head unit? Or do I replace the whole radio assembly? I do want to keep the stock unit. Heck I don't listen to the thing much I rather hear that engine, it's a sound like no other! Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same thing happened to me. I think you can buy a new faceplate from Beckerautosound, but they are seriously overpriced. If you are buying a new radio, you might as well get something better than the stock unit.
I was lucky to have TWO CR-220's. One had bad buttons, one had a bad display. So, I took the faceplates apart and replaced the screen & board in the bad one. It turned out that the failed part was NOT the LCD screen, but the something on the

inside the faceplate housing. I doubt you'd be able to find a new circuit board though. There are some pictures in

There are always people upgrading the stock unit to aftermarket radios. Someone must have old units they are getting rid of.
Watch ebay, cl or kijiji. Not sure the going rate on the faceplate but used complete units seem to go for about $3000.
There is a guy flogging his up here on kijiji for last few months. $250 for complete unit with code.
If you go full replacement keys to switch out are $5 and takes about 10 minutes including coding.
Good luck!
Thanks for the great input! I will try to buy an old unit or faceplate whichever is the best deal. Ebay sounds like a good place to start. Looking to keep her stock.
There are a few on there. Removal keys available via dealer.
I hear you on stock. I added ipod cable ($15 on ebay) so I could have aux option but factory look.
I was tempted to do the iPod mini mod as it does look cool.
