Why won't my car turn on?

Monday morning (3 days ago) I drove my car to the store and back. In the afternoon I went to turn it on to go to work only to get it to not start at all. It simply makes one click sound when I turn the key.
Here is some info:
1) I changed the battery to see if that was the cause but it's not
2) I was planning to take my car to Kwik Kar to get my oils checked and drained but I went to my car two hours before going to work to check the radiator to see if I was low on coolant. And I low on coolant/anti freeze. I told myself I was going to get it drained and refilled on Sunday as well.
3) Engine light has been on prior to this incident. The code was p0740. I don't have the money currently to fix it because I was told it would be costly.
4) I had not had problems turning it on prior to this happening. It really shocked me that it just died on me out of the blue without symptoms.

The car:
2002 Honda Civic ex (1.7 liter/4cyl) automatic

Here is a clip I uploaded of what the click sounds like when I try to turn on my car:


I was told by my coworkers that it may be the starter. I can't find a mechanic in my area that's willing to come to my house or some have offered but by charging me for my arm and leg.

What do you guys think? Any advice?

Honda civic 07 plate Air Con problems?

I have an 07 plate Honda civic, I just had the air con recharge done today. The mechanic says there's no leaks and the gas is staying in but air won't blow cold. The engine is working as it should and the air is blowing but it's staying warm. Does anyone have any suggestions what it can be that's causing the air to stay warm.

Can I replace my OEM non-navigation head unit with a OEM navigation head unit?

The head unit for my 2017 Honda CR-V EX got damaged. Warranty won't cover it, and it will cost $2,000 to replace. I found a used 2017 Honda CR-V head unit online but it is for the trim that includes gps navigation. Can I replace my factory non-navigation with the factory navigation head unit? Even if the navigation won't work, would everything else work the same by just plugging it in? My head unit has touch screen controls to turn on or off blind spot motoring, automatic collision braking, door lock configuration, etc. Read more: https://hondanews.net/odyssey/can-i-replace-my-oem-non-navigation-head-unit-with-a.html
