I have the switchblade type key for my CX-7 and the other day my keys fell off the other end when I pulled it out of my pocket. After inspection I noticed that the portion of the remote where the 'O' ring attached to hold my other keys had cracked and therefore will not hold anything on the...

No problem with am/fm reception. Did you make sure that you plugged the radio atenna back in before you re-installed the radio? It was kind of a tight fit, so it could have come lose. And yes I did use the splitter, I did not get any Siruis repception until I did.

Yes I will, it will only require removing the disc that I put in the hole that I removed the vent from and popping the vent back in. It was very easy to do and of course I saved the vent so I could replace it. And yes the features on the TomTom are far superior to the OEM Nav and for anyone...

No it is a 4.0 LCD, nice size touch screen.
