Chosen Solution

I can’t afford to have the touchscreen replaced for one dead spot, so I started looking for a blue tooth fm transmitter - but one of the reviews has me questioning whether or not this solution will screw with the computer in my car… is this possible?
Depending upon how handy you are, I did find just the digitizer on eBay by searching the model year+”touch screen". Here’s one I found: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124029867772
