2014 x6 missing tools and no electric sunroof shade?

Hello I recently bought this car and had some questions one is what tools are supposed to be missing from the toolbox I only have two.

My second question is regarding the sunroof is the shoot itself supposed to close automatically along with the sunroof ? When I open the sunroof the shoot goes back automatically but when I close the shade does not go back with the roof Is this functioning as expected?

Third, is there anyway to automatically invoke Siri on my phone when I have it connected to Bluetooth withotnjaving to take it out of my pocket?

Fourth, what cables are supposed to come with the vehicle as far as usb cables etc?

Is there anyway to get the calendar on my phone to show wirelessly in the office area, or does it have to be connected via a sub cable to show that?

What are he side view cameras actually used for? Having a hard time figuring out the purpose?

What things besides the speed can actually show up on the HUD?

Thanks in advance for someone who can help with these answers. Hard knowing all these things when you first buy the car!

I believe I got the tow hook, screwdriver, and wheel lock key

Try to press the close button twice? This is how it works on my 2012

My 2012 did not come with any USB cables at all. I would be surprised if the 2014 did.

If you parallel park, used to check for traffic coming down or bicyclists before you fully open your door to prevent accidents.

My 2012 X6 did not have electronic shade, it was manual. 2015 is electronic.
Similarly, there was not much to show on HUD in 2012 model. 2015 can show more information. I think your car is similar to 2012.

As to the hud, it shows a different display if you are in M mode, if not its speed and navigation data. The 16's show song, stations, etc. a lot more than the 14's.

Do you have a sunroof or a moonroof (panoramic sunroof)?

Panoramics extend into the rear passenger area



The inner blind can be retracted by pulling backwards on the central rocker switch. Once it's fully retracted, use the same button in the backwards motion to open the glass panel. Reverse to close both in separate sequences.

Mine was missing the tool, cost about 6 dollars to replace.

As to Siri you should be able to set it up,to just say 'hey Siri'.

But intergration is not very robust on the 14's.
