JDM a/c controller... in stock?

Anyone seen someone that has these suckers in stock? Everybody I've talked to has had them on backorder for at least a few weeks.

I mean, I saw this:

but lawd, that's already overpriced and the auction isn't even over.

(And yes, being a business grad student I'm very familiar with supply and demand, lol)

Found Yoshi's garage, he has one for 27k Yen, which is evidently like $250US
Anybody ever ordered directly from him? Not really sure how that works.

Hey would you mind posting the link to Yoshis? I'm trying to cop a JDM 03 double din as well and I can't find a single one at the usual places...

The site is www.j-garage.com

I got the bezel from Grubbs, they had it in stock. Looks like the DD bracket is in stock too, but nobody has the a/c controller ready to go.

I imagine they can sell the a/c control for 200 since they import quite a few at once, you and I would just be ordering one.

For those of you business majors, that's economy of scale

Word thanks for the link. I've called around and most people have had the controller unit on backorder the past two months or so. I definitely don't want one of those Metrix kits. My nav is sitting on my counter top, still boxed, taunting me

FYI lolzomgwtfbbq

Yoshi has 03-04 JDM a/c controls in stock, 32014 Yen shipped to your door, which is just shy of $300.

Fill out a parts request and send a couple e-mails back and forth to him and he'll get it taken care of.

Awesome, I dropped him a line and he got back to me pretty quick...I can finally get my unit installed now hopefully. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I started to have bad dreams about backordered a/c controllers after dropping about $1200 on all the other equipment

Certainly don't want to get stuck without a part. I wonder how long they'll keep manufacturing these.
