Default AC problems

I've looked throughout the forum and I notice no one posted similar problems with my 2008 350z. Had my avic d3 on since 2011 and replaced my battery since the beginning of this year. For the past days I have been havin issues with my Z:

1)just recently, when ever I turn on my headlights my navigation avic d3 started to malfunction, changing stations from radio, navigation, iPod and etc. I hadn't batted changed months ago prior to this incident and idk what's happening.

2) Somehow my AC is not blowing cold air anymore. I had it checked to the NTB dealer and they filled up the freon. But after that my 2008 350z started to get warm a couple weeks later. The dealer couldn't figure out the problem and wanted me to take it out to the Nissan dealer, which cost 200 bucks.

3) I noticed my outside temp sensor still reads 61 degrees. And nothing. Has changed.

I have checked the fuses and they seem fine. What could be the issue?

I just went to the dealer and they told me my AC compressor is out. Said the part cost 600 with labor is about 1200!! Im looking at AC compressors Abdullah in trying to find the right compressor brand that will last longer than some cheap brand.

Does anyone know. Reliable AC compressor brand that I should buy other than straight from the dealer?

Thanks

Appleton Estate 30-Year Limited Edition Jamaican rum. I bought a bottle at the distillery the last time I was in Jamaica. It's expensive as hell, but my god, it tastes like the best single malt whiskey I've ever had. I've got to try this Papa's Pilar now.
