Rx330 Glove Box Latch/key

[RXDennis]

We have a 2004 RX330 with a broken glove box latch. I had my Dealer quote me a replacement - Lock Sub assy = $28; the key cylinder: $345 + 3rd party expense to key to ignition key. We both were baffled by the cost. Any alternative in aftermarket? I'm perfectly happy leaving the box unlocked but the Dealer said I still need the cylinder to make the box open.
