Console on a 2001 S

[crod]

Hey guys,

The car I am looking at to buy from what I can see does not have the Front Center Console (as what I think it is called). Was that an option and the lack of it means the original owner did not order it?
I am asking as I do plan at one point to update the stereo on the car and I was thinking about placing a double din unit with Navi on it (like the Pioneer X910BT for example) what means the air conditioning controls would have to be moved somewhere. Or leave them where they are, remove the CDR-220/210 (whatever it is) and install the new radio on the center console (what probably means getting brackets, etc).
So as the car does not have it, is it a part that is easy to find/order and to actually put on the car?
What do you guys think? Is this plan doable? Anyone else around did the same, put a double din unit with Navi and moved all the other stuff to the center console?

Thanks!
