I have since put a little piece of wood in the gap between the HomeLink and the top of the console that you see in the picture. As it pushed through after being used for awhile since there wasn't any back support just the clips that hold it in.

That looks slick. But as you stated there is definitely enough room up there for Chevy to have kept it there. It is just a cost cutting measure at their end.
At $150+ for the keypad, I will just use an old remote for now until I upgrade the older Craftsman unit to a newer Genie I have laying around which I believe is bluetooth enabled.
