I am mitigating most of them (DWA, Battery, Emissions) but i need to figure the radio communication thing out. My starting point was a software update. Do you have any other input?

My sense if you have a couple problems, but not as many as the number of faults.

Divide and conquer. Take a look at this first for the DWA battery:

You can check the hood switch with an ohm meter. If you need a new one, it's not expensive.

Radio/sound: Start with the simple and move on from there.

Check the fuses. Replace as required, or make sure that they are fully seated.

Do you have any lighting in the radio?

On a side note here, with all the requests for Bentley manual help, why is it not posted on this sight in a PDF?

I very much doubt the PDF scan of the Bentley manual is a legally reproduced digital copy for free distribution. That doesn't mean it isn't handy. I do have the print version of the Bentley.
