Fuse for usb outlet

Those "extra" wires sounds like someone had something else in there before and they are a legacy. - my wiring was "clean" - i.e. no taped up or "new" wires and nothing like lgt.1

I didn't need to run any new wires for mine permanent live is in the quadlock, switched (acc live) comes from the canbus adapter as does "illumination" - i.e. "your lights are on" - when you turn you lights on do the buttons on the headunit light up and does carplay switch to night mode.?

The aerial has an amplifier ( actually 2 amplifiers - they live in the a pillars both sides) - sounds like possibly that's not "happening" for you - the aerial connector on mine had a "fakra" and a lose blue wire - I was expecting to have to do something with that but I didn't need to - fm works fine for me - if someone has been in there previously then something may have happened to the "default" wiring - hard to guess to be honest - can only go by my experience which was - I didn't need to mess with anything for fm to work

i do the same for the hotspot - but again, mine does have internet connection - and I have been able to update the built in apps (the carlink2 app that is carplay - and some of the canbus components - I have also purchased tomtom go for android and installed that on the headunit itself as a fall back for "for whatever reason I dont have a phone right now" contingency.

I have an app called radioplayer - basically picks up all the internet broadcasts for stations - that's carplay compatible and works well for me - hence I haven't bothered with DAB .
Thanks, I'll check the lights later, did drive it in the dark last night but didn't pay attention to the lights, other than noting my driver door light (the light on the door itself) is not coming on when I open the door but the passenger one is so I'm guessing its a bulb and not related.

Thanks for the tip about the radio app I'll take a look, and also see what I can find about the antenna.
