The controller part # is 56029431AE and the Black/Grey Bezel for it is 1EB13XDVAA...
I just called a dealer in town to see if they had any...no clue. I gave him the part number off the forum here and they had it in stock as well as the bezel. I just got back from picking it up, so tonight I will do the install.
Only thing is there is no cable with the controller and they didn't know of any, so I'm hoping the plug under the dash has enough length to make it to the controller unit.
I paid $232.00 Canadian, so in the US it should be around $175, I'd guess.

It doesn't work properly on a 2009. Been there, done that.

The controller was $142 list USA a few weeks ago.

It is listed at 168 cost to the dealer here in Canada. That is what I will be paying when it comes in since they sell me everything at cost. So 64 bucks for markup.... nice..... but at least you got it!

In my checking, there are quite a few dealers across Canada with them in stock. But only 4 in BC.

I didn't tell him I wanted it for a 2009 I was told no matter what year if it didn't come with it you can't put it in like a factory sunroof. I am going to order the bezel and then find a control that will fit in the hole and look as OEM as possible.

I had the bezel and originally thought the same thing. But due to it's shape, I actually found the pocket worked better + provided support for the controller. Otherwise you'd have to build some sort of frame to hold it in position. It's about a $9 part so not too bad if you wanted to give it a try though.

Just called the dealer today in Calgary Alberta, nothing in stock for the controler but they assured me that they can get one in about a week. The cost was $192 and the harness to make it work for the 09 would be an additional $40.

There is no harness to make it work in an 09. My guess is that they are just trying to sell you a 56045795AB harness which is the harness to connect to an aftermarket controller.
