I would run a tank of B99 every month through my 2005.5 just to keep things clean. I just sold the car after not driving it for 9 month. It had 72K when I sold it and ran like a champ. Wife runs it in her 05 Bug once in a while and no problems.

I have a 05.5 and am just turning 50K the car is almost a year old. I run 2 tanks of B99 every month just to keep things cleaned out and have had no problems. My PD seems to really like the bio, the first tank of regular fuel after the bio seems to pick up 2-3mpg.
I had the same problem when mine was new, the steering wheel was also off center just a tad. The car would wander all over the place and seemed like it just never knew where it wanted to go. I took it back to the dealer to have the wheel straightened, when it came back the wheel was straight...
The metal in the tint film kills the reception, you can get a non-metal film but it doesn't last as long. I was looking for an external antenna but couldn't find one.
