I'd be a bit careful buying the ebay complete unit. I seem to recall others having an issue if they didn't get the one that was the same model number as theirs. And the ebay unit is likely set up for CanBus, which the OP's car doesn't have. (I've used the Modulemaster kit and it's great.)

If you go with the whole part, make sure the part number is identicle to the one you have.

Good info.... I did not know. Looking at the units and the different part numbers I was way off.
