New C 100 owner with questions

I bought a C 100 Wagon yesterday on a whim and it has a few minor issues. I'm hoping all the peeps on here with tons of experience can point the right way to correct at least some of them before I waste a lot of time looking in the wrong places.

The sunroof controls do nothing
The interior lights don't seem to work
The MPG readout in the center of the console is not working
the side mirror adjust controls do nothing
the radio (which appears to be professionally installed aftermarket picks up no stations

I've checked the in-cabin fuses and all seem to be in order. None of the failing systems seem to be related to the grouped systems that each fuse lists in the owner's manual.

None of these are keeping me from enjoying the car, but I really can't stand having things that are intended to function that don't. Any help would be appreciated.

Do the windows or headlights work. A common fault is the electrical part of the ignition switch fails and many things don't function. Sometime after starting you might need to turn key back a little bit more CCW and see if the mentioned start working.

I tinkered with the ignition to no avail.

I also noticed that the clock and cigarette lighter also do not work.

Update: Side mirrors, MPG readout and radio are sorted. A Fuse (yes I feel stupid) and a missing antenna adapter solved those.

Sunroof and interior lights are still in question.
