How did the install go?

I have an 04 4.4i and am having the same issue as you with the radio intermittently dropping out. Driving along it will just cut out for about 5-10 seconds then come online again. Strange thing is I replaced the battery and it makes the problem better but after a while it starts happening again. I also have a spot on the LCD screen (this is already my second screen) so wnat to change out the OEM unit.
