Looking for a picture of the motor/gears on the OEM nav unit

Does anyone have a pic of the electric motor that operates the OEM nav screen? I took mine apart in an attempt to fix it and I think I am missing one of the gears - more specifically the one that goes on the shaft of the motor. I'd like to figure out the diameter and the tooth count, so I can order a replacement.

You should reach out to this guy. This is probably the cleanest OEM looking upgrade I’ve seen.

Thanks! I went with another solution though. I am swapping in a screen and the motor from an E83. Not sure why nobody else mentioned this as these units are plentiful and cost way less. You obviously need to swap everything into the old shroud/surround and the mounting brackets for the newer motor are slightly different.

The only issue I am running into is that the gear on the motor has a crack. This little gear is prone to failure and the guy that did the retrofit in the link you posted didn't check his unfortunately. I'm now trying to source a replacement gear.
