Welcome !!
Side mirrors - make sure the switch (for adjusting the side mirrors) is set to drivers side. With that switch set to driv. side, when you put the gear in reverse, the passenger side mirror will tilt down.
Cup holder - you can try to glue the cover to the mechanism after you remove it from the car. Or you can just order a new one. It shouldn't be that expensive.
Keys - I don't think you can change the keys from non-CA to CA. ComfortAccess is more than just replacing the key.

Car has to be coded to recognize mp3 cds if its firmware is too old, the cup holder is an easy fix imo just buy a complete unit off ebay or something ~$100 US maybe less (it comes with the cover and the "cup holder" itself, easy fix just unscrew 2 screws and the things slides out,reverse to install)
