I bought a Pioneer Apple Carplay unit that also replaces the air conditioning controls, had it for 6 years now, works great. I have a 2006 TSX.

Which unit/model? I might be interested in looking into it

Just go to your local stereo shop. You can also get a rear camera installed with this unit.

Pioneer doesn't make dash kits. If it's a local stereo shop, they most likely installed the Metra 99-7809B which accepts your Pioneer double-DIN radio. There are also Chinese Android computers with CarPlay that use their own dash kit. Here's an example: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805014131213.html

And should we only replace the transistor?? I myself attempted this repair and it did not work, ended up fitting custom red LEDs in places of the display wired to the power source from the clock when the light switch is clicked on . Looked way better then oem and more reliable . Look for my...

I've gone through that thread in the past but apparently not enough cause I definitely don't recall your post. I'll take a look and read it in a bit here. How much would it cost to shop that unit to 23224?

Zero dollars and zero cents. Only stipulations would be (1) to update the thread on if it initially worked, and then (2) try to post an update if something stops working.
