    Apologies, totally forgot to post the update. Yes, the Mountek works quite nicely. It's pretty close to the gear lever so you have to mind your shifts a bit. You can swivel to landscape mode but I prefer to use Waze in portrait mode. Pics forthcoming...

    Persistence pays off... kept following up with the dealer about the other key fob and hand book. Initially said looks like prior owner must have only turned one fob in. Asked them to contact etc... looked like I was out of luck but sales rep finally called back and said they got not one, but two extra fobs and the hand book! Yes! I have 3 key fobs now. Re-dic.

    Great choice! Looks just like my 2013, but I got the stripes on the hood! I agree, hard to mount anything. I tried a window mount, but it only worked for about a month, then fell off. I finally ended up putting my phone (which I use for all nav type things) in my driver's side cupholder and it works fine - the nav system speaks the turns and it has helped to have it close by if I need to stop and look it over. Best of luck to you finding a system and be sure to post when you find something great that works!

    :highfive: Can you post a pic of your hood stripes?

    The CD slot holder is working out great for me.

    I'm thinking I may need to add some stripes or accent decals. Where does one get started in looking at the options? Is it best to have the dealer or a pro apply them? I don't want to botch it up. Thanks.

    I'm all set for phone mounts for now. On to adding a little flare maybe.

    Just find your local vinyl guy. Your dealer will probably use him anyway, and take a giant cut off the price for themselves.
