Default First time Crossfire owner

My son is off to college this fall. I just picked up a 2007 Crossfire 5 speed with 90k for him. It is a HUGE upgrade from his 2005 saturn ion 5 speed. We are car people and I'm sure he will be tearing into it as soon as he gets off work today. What we don't have is a spare key and an owner's manual. We are also looking for a good backup camera option. I've looked over the forum and this one is better than most. We are looking forward the ride!

Thanks for the links ZERACER and maggy55! We will be spending the weekend "undoing" some really aweful black-out attempts on the interior and exterior trim. Hopefully, a careful application of acetone will remove the rattle can black out on the windshield frame. Pictures to follow.

The windshield trim is painted from the factory. I don’t think the original paint will like the acetone.

If you have to repaint them, do a search for Wurth silver wheel paint. It is a close match.

I bought a Garmin Backup Camera to go with my Garmin navigator, never did get the camera sorted out. (YET, could be a weird voltage thing with Mercedes.)
if it is an option I park where I can pull out safely instead of backing out.
