Does Express support the 405CX?

As title really. The Garmin Connect website indicates that it is not supported (with a small exclamation mark in a yellow triangle) but this forum seems to suggest that it is supported.

I tried installing the latest version last night and this uninstalled the ANT Agent. I then performed a sync and the 'modern' interface of Garmin Connect congratulated me on my new 405CX. All good so far :)

The Express then indicated that my firmware was out of date - showing version 2.30, despite the menu on the 405CX showing version 2.40. The Connect website stated that software updates were not supported via Express and therefore I uninstalled and reinstalled ANT Agent. I ran a sync and confirmed the 405CX was updated to 2.40.

Thinking I had solved the problem I uninstalled ANT Agent and reinstalled Express. However, on rebooting my laptop it would not detect the ANT USB stick. Writing it off as a bad job I removed Express and now have ANT Agent on the laptop!!!!

So to summarise, can someone help me with the following?
- Does Express fully support the 405CX?
- Are there any known issues with the 405CX, ANT USB stick and Express?
- If Express doesn't fully support the 405CX is there a roadmap to include full support of the product and when?
- In the meantime what is the recommended configuration for Garmin Connect, 405CX, ANT USB and Windows 7?

Thanks for your help
