Hey guys. Just bought an 06 SL. A few questions (sorry if this is in the wrong area, I'm on mobile).

I'm going to be installing an aftermarket radio. Do they make trim to cover the area where the stock screen is to delete the radio controls?

If I buy a blank key, do these keys have resistors in them I need to be aware of? I'm guessing the fob needs programming at the dealership?

The brake switch in this car sounds like a very good ball point pen. Normal or horrible aftermarket parts?

Is there an easy way to change the color of the gauge cluster face? I took it all apart today and see where I can remove the face but I can't figure out how to safely remove the needles. Do they make aftermarket faces? Needles?

Any remote starter you guys recommend over another? I like factory integrated units but since it didn't come with the vehicle I'm thinking aftermarket.

Thanks
