Do I just need to buy a whole new head unit???

Ok so I had problems with my heat...already posted about this...wouldn't get hot...tried to take the radio out and fucked something up so that it won't get off of hot outside air now and none of the radio buttons work except for the eject cd button...at least my cd player works and the controls on the steering wheel work...but its starting to get hot down here soon and im gonna need some ac...can i just purchase a whole new head unit with radio and heater/air controls...will that solve my problems? also my display with song temp, time etc...doesn't work...it will light up when my headlights are on but other than that nothing...thanks!

cheapest thing to do is wait for a parts sale here on the forum and buy one off a crashed car.

Why dont you ask Paul @ Mazmart see if he can cut you a deal. He is a great guy, he even gave me something for free (and he paid for shipping!!!!!)

So PM him.
