I got one about a year ago. I dropped into a dealership, found a parts guy and essentially said, "I heard this rumour..." and repeated JJW's story. The guy confirmed, said "hold on" and went and got me one.

I imagine if you knew someone at a dealership you could have had a steady supply. (The number of them that were on eBay at one point suggests that some people were in just that situation...)
