So - finally went back to a single-din stereo and have this piece available for sale. (9/10 in terms of condition) I've also got an extension cable (6') so that you can relocate the HVAC controller elsewhere in the car. (This is a commercial cable that was available once upon a time, but no longer...)
$150 + $15 shipping

Wanted to answer a couple of questions that had come up:
1) The most common place for folks to relocate the HVAC controls is to the center bin between the seats - where the phone used to be located.
2) A secondary, albeit not as convenient location is in the glovebox
3) If you move the HVAC to the center bin, you can leave it floating around (unfinished) as I did - or you can fabricate a bezel to make it look finished.
4) I don't have any pictures of the custom bezel(s) - although they are floating around on the forum. It's been awhile - but they are out there.
5) For anyone who has done this little project, you'll know that the cable is (almost) worth it's weight in gold - it's a PITA to cut all those wires and solder in extensions.
I can email other pictures if you want to see the piece outside of the car -
