Clarabelle (our Clarity) needs a replacement "tablet" (Audio/Information Screen). Since everyone has been wondering what (retail) parts cost -- I have a sample data point -- $2691.

Don't ask ;-).

We're looking for "alternative sources" for parts but, obviously, this is somewhat specialized. If anyone has any ideas (or, ideally, a known source) outside of normal channels the dealer may commonly use, please let me know.
 
@DucRider, just to help out, I searched your hondapartsnow.com link and found this:
https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~display~assy~ctr~39710-trt-305.html
Unfortunately $1882
At the other site you listed:
https://www.magauto.com/oem-parts/honda-display-assembly-center-coo-39710trt305
It is $1776
Found this one on ebay from the wreck that @JustAnotherPoorDriver mentioned:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-2018-...:SEMAAOSw3k9cXHk5:sc:USPSPriority!35242!US!-1
$425 or best offer - free shipping

There is a plethora of Chinese aftermarket Android Tablet head units. A quick search of “android stereo 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid Touring” on the world’s largest internet auction site provided many inexpensive options like this one. YMMV...

This whole thread just demonstrates how over-priced the dealer parts departments are and also (most probably) why auto insurance rates are considerably higher than they need to be too. Yikes -- prices from $111 to $2691!

Well, I wouldn’t directly compare my suggestion to an OEM unit. It may or may not provide similar features and performance and will probably take some finagling to work correctly. That said, many people have installed similar units with success. When I was in China last year, many of the “CHubers” I rode in had such units and they looked OEM and worked well enough.

Let's look on the bright side--except for the body and motive power, it's a parts bin car. That's a good thing. There's little aftermarket potential for the Clarity, but since the infotainment was used by other Hondas, we should be able to find someone making a compatible screen.
