I’ve been researching this a lot lately. So far no, nothing is released and I haven’t heard anything from any companies that make these kits about plans to release them. There are a few complications with them developing one for the first gens. The major complication is they would need t make two different configurations because of the face lift done to the dash for the later years of the first gen. The other concern is that there may not be a big enough demand. These vehicles are getting pretty old and even though they are in desperate need of an upgrade, there are far fewer on the road.
The past several days I have been studying the factory service manual and researching about how to make my own. It seems entirely possible to do it but takes a lot of effort. The HVAC controller is a CAN bus driven unit so in theory if you send the right commands over the CAN bus to emulate the output from the factory display (which is driven by the buttons on the dash) it should be possible to apply this type of retrofit just like is done for the 2nd gen kit.
Right now I’m thinking an android head unit with a CAN output might be the best place to start but I need to do more research.

If a lot of people could get a group buy going maybe they would make a kit. At the very least everyone interested should request it to be added to their product line

Hello there. Did you install this on an FX with the orange screen with integrated hvac controls?
Actually, looks like it should work on 2004 and 05

Unit looks great! Did your car have navigation originally? Your OEM button layout looks different than mine. I have an '06FX35 with Tech option (Nav, CD Changer, SAT,...)
So what things can you share about the purchase and install?

I looked at the listing on ALiExpress and my 2004 FX35 dash looks like the one with the X by it stating it won't work. Do you know of any Android head units that will work with mine?
