Default Newbe Questions

Hello all, today my wife picked up a 2018 Q5 and I have a few questions.This is a premium trim so I think its pretty base options.
1: On the MMI I have no sat radio options, according to a local Audi service center Satellite radio is optional, since I do not have navigation its probably not equipped. Does that sound right? Is there anyway to verify? This does have Carplay, so a standalone sat radio isn't super needed.
2: I see my car has an embedded cellular modem, the IMEI info is on the door. I assume this is part of Audi Connect, but I see nothing in the MMI that looks like I can access this functionality. When I spoke to the local franchise parts guy. he stated I will need to order a code, where do I put in this code if ordered? I love the idea of wifi in the car, but I wanna confirm I have the needed hardware before paying for the code.
3: I have searched on here and found two different oil change write-ups, looks like two different variants exist of the 2018. Mine has the oil filler on the left, not the right, so does that mean I have the plastic pan with plastic replaceable drain plugs? I normally convert traditional threaded plugs to valves, so this is why I asked as I may need to cancel the valve order.
4: Looks like the "inspection overdue" notification must be reset via scan tool only, is that correct or can it be reset through the MMI?
5: Anyone ever drilled a hole in the bottom trim covering the pan to allow oil changes w/o removing the trim each time?

Thanks in advance

Think I figured out the answer to #3, looks like the second write up is for the SQ5 so I assume my Q5 has the plastic plugs

You are in the wrong forum, this is the Gen 1 Q5 forum, you want to ask in the Gen, 22018+, Q5 forum.
