Relocating the HVAC - Dual Zone Climate control PCB
The Display-HVAC PCB (7” x 10”) will not fit back into the console if spaced back, even slightly from the front. Honda made this board to just fit in the dash opening and the opening get smaller with depth.

I was forced to find a case and a location to mount it. I used an “off the shelf” plastic electronic case that is low cost and almost a perfect fit for the PCB. The picture shows the new case with existing HVAC sockets protruding through bottom, just as the OEM unit.
