A lot of those are convenience functions, which are likely to run off the convenience battery.

You said you changed the battery, did you change both the batteries?

You'd be best advised to get the codes read. Some of what you list could be due to low battery charge.
Roof sounds like it needs lubrication, can you open it manually?
Removing kph from display is, I believe, only possible using STAR to recode the region coding.

It'll certainly help pin-pointing the issues with the PTS
