Need year of car before anyone can help. Also maybe looks like rust on DVD unit so most likely water damage. None of that looks good.

Does the nav screen even light up? Don't think it needs anything in trunk for the AC or Clock on screen

Take a picture of the whole front so we can see what has been replaced. Preliminary this is what I think happened. Water came in through taillight and damaged the dvd unit. To get audio back modifications were made in front and added a radio. What was taken out has to be there for the car to communicate properly and only way to get AC controls back is to replace what was taken out. Just a guess at this point but if you pull out the front part the main big connector plug might just be hanging there that has to be plugged into the radio unit.
