Dead infotainment unit

long time reader first time poster
have 2005 continental GT with a broken infotainment unit. Currently at a local Indy who is having problems sourcing parts. They went through closest Bentley dealer who wanted over $5000 for a replacement.
Any suggestions or recommendations for finding a used one or refurbishing current part. Part number 3W0035008

eBay, and i think there's a guy here who might have a pull from a parts car so hopefully he chimes in.

PLENTY on eBay for about $2300.

Hello,
I hope you realized that the $1050 unit is "for parts only and not working", What part does yours need ?

I have to say that the seller's wording is very misleading, the seller has two units, 1st and 2nd gen, and on both he states as pasted below, how can it be "very good used condition" and "parts only or not working" at the same time.....
"Bentley Continental Navigation Display Control FACTORY UNIT USED NICE ORIGINAL FACTORY UNIT VERY GOOD USED CONDITION"

well that's embarrassing. I ordered on my iPhone, the display of which makes it even harder to find the "for parts or not working" in small print and separate from the main description. The bold font advertisement of "UNIT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION," I agree is misleading as "condition" implies function as opposed to "appearance" which would have been more apt for a non-working unit. I sent the seller a message to clarify before shipping.

Hello Nat,
I tried to PM you, but there is no option to do so under your profile, let me know what part you are looking for, I have a parts infotainment, and a complete infotainment available.

Hello Nat,
I received your PM and responded twice, hopefully you received them, please tell me what the symptoms with your unit, as so I can give you options of rebuilding or replacing your unit.
I now have two unit for parts and one in complete working order.
