Can anyone identify the component that needs replaced for the repair, so that I can do it myself?

My was the bluetooth module that failed according to the dealership. The unit it self its pretty big and cost $225.00 part alone.

Last month, I was away for few days and when we came back, the battery was dead on my wife's 2007 MDX. I bought a new battery and for one reason or another, the HFL bluetooth stopped working. When you press the talk button, nothing happens. I took the car to the dealer and they were nice to re set it for free (not sure what they did). However, it worked for few hours and it was dead again. Took it back again to the dealer and because my car was out of warranty, they wanted to run a troubleshooting which basically cost $80 to do. The service guy said then, he can not guarantee that this will solve the problem. At that point, I started looking into the forums and realized replacing it was the best option I have. We have 2 Acura dealers in town and I asked both about the cost to buy new HFL and both quote $650 for the part (39770-STX-C01) plus another $80 for the labour. This is the Canadian part and the part number is different from the American (39770-STX-A01) where C replaces A. I found the American part on line with a price tag of $200 (shipped) but I was afraid that it wont match the car. I asked the dealer and he said he can't really tell if it would work or not. Finally I bought it from the online Curry Acura Parts Store and the guys there told me if it didn't work, just ship it back and they will refund me. I took the part to the dealer and they installed it and its been working perfectly since then.

I have this problem and want to replace the HFL unit, but I can't find a good source for the part. Ebay didn't have any listed. Any suggestions for where to get the part?

Can anyone tell me what the 3 button thing is? My button still works but when I go to pair, it never finds the phone. It was working fine. then for a few days the phone would connect about half of the time and then it just stopped working. I would appreciate any suggestions.
