Well, if you get just the little LCD/button panel part of it, it's still easy to get at. You take out the whole assembly as I pointed out, then there are four screws holding the face plate to the white plastic housing. Unscrew those, and the face plate is loose. There's a small ribbon cable connecting the faceplate to a PCB in the housing. Disconnect that, plug in the new face plate, screw it on, and reinstall the whole unit. Probably still a VERY quick job.
And CJ, yeah, the PO apparently trusted that cupholder a little too much... Everything had coke residue in it in that lower console.

I mean, for the price, if it works, it would be a fantastic self repair that could save hundreds of $s to avoid replacing the whole climate control unit just because of the LCD damage.
Fingers still crossed till I get the kit in my hands and try to do the replacement!
