Hello All,

I have 2004 Honda accord Ex-L V6 with Navigation. I have been having issues with Nav unit almost 3 years. The unit does not work fine. The display was not working fine for few months. Later the audio stopped working. Now I have an issue with A/C. I don't care about display and audio as I dont drive much. But, need A/C for my kids when I go out. I don't know much about cars and how it works. I took the car to several stores (pepboys, firestone, Meineke) for different issues with Nav unit. They suggested me to replace the nav unit but i did not bother as A/C has been working. But, now for me, A/C is imp as i live in TX and its very hot here. I need some help/suggestions with it. I was told that the climate control module is damaged and needs to be replaced first, later i was told that the A/C Freon issue and did A/C service(spent $200), today i was told that the A/C expansion valve replacement and evaporator core are bad and needs to be replaced ( estimate is $700). The car mileage is 148K. Can I remove the Nav unit completely from my car and get the only A/C installed? I really don't need the Nav unit. All I need is A/C for now. I can spend some more money on audio, bluetooth and etc if i can have those. Do I need to have the Nav unit in the car if I have to use A/C? Or there is no dependency between A/C and Nav unit? My current A/C problem is completely different from Nav unit issue? If I find a used Nav unit and replace it then all my problems with A/C, audio will go away? As I mentioned above, I have very knowledge about cars and how it works. Really appreciate the suggestions... Thanks in advance...!!
