New 2013 Fit owner, seeking knowledge

Newb here. Just picked up a '13 Fit with 19k miles on it. It's got a few interior cosmetic issues that will need attention (previous owner had a very large, very hairy dog that spent a lot of time in the back), but for now I'm just going to drive it and enjoy it. I've been looking for a few months, so it's nice to finally find a low miles car that wasn't terribly overpriced. My plan is to use this for driving Lyft part time and serve as my wife's grocery getter. I also drive a '14 Pilot and a BMW f650gs when I'm not out fishing for salmon.

My first project will be to disable an old Parrot bluetooth system. Following that the radio trim and shifter trim have some kind of discolored spots etched into them, so those will need replacing once I find a U-pull-it yard with the right trim pieces. And finally, someone for some reason removed the dash cluster and smeared the INSIDE of the clear plastic shield. It's making me crazy to look at it knowing I can't just wipe it clean without removing the whole cluster. They also did a shoddy job of reinstalling the hood on the cluster, so one of the tabs if exposed. I'm guessing it's all related to the crap bluetooth install.

But hey, I got a good deal, it had a clean carfax, and I like to tinker. So there's that.
