Not that I know of, I have driven D4s from 2010 to late 2016 models, non had a screen mirroring capability. Actually the phone/navigation technology was a little out of date in the later models, compared even to an A6 of the same era (2015-16). I don't think carplay/androidauto was even an option?

Easy, two highly visible sensors on the front bumper - look like black fog lights

Yes, button is in the boot. I successfully retrofitted a factory bar from a breaker also, which worked in exactly the same way. There is a thread on here somewhere.

In anyone's opinion, are there any 'must haves'?

Cheers all.
It all comes down to preferences, for me Adaptive Cruise control & massage seats rate highly. Buy on condition, not just toys, corrosion was certainly an issue on some of the early cars!!!
