WTK - Replacement for broken DVD touch screen?

My touch screen got broken today (Kenwood DDX-812). The stereo still functions fine via the remote and the LCD that's behind the touch screen is still ok. It just doesn't respond to any touch. Any one with ideas on replacing this?

Well first to determine.. How did it break? Any visible signs of damage?

I had it unscrewed and resting on the edge of the compartment and it slid out and landed face first on the gear lever :cry:

. I know - stoopid stoopid! The front touch panel is cracked up so it now doesn't respond to touch. No shards have fallen off / out though. Nothing else broken. The buttons on face work and the LCD shows fine - no cracks on that. You can see through the touch panel ok enough. The deck responds to all functions from the remote too.

I found a place - pacparts.com that supposedly sells Kenwood deck replacement parts. The touch screen is about US$ 64 shipped - if it is in fact the correct thing.

I am wondering if there are other options for replacing it.
