1. No, search the web and you should find some images with the wheel in the correct orientation
2. No, EEPROM read only. Instrument cluster or display are the easiest to get the code out (8 Pin SOIC EEPROMs) PIN is unencrypted
3. The turn signal cancellation is dependent on a correct steering angle calibration so it should work OK when you calibrate it
PS. re-solder the connectors on the CIM, only cleaning them is not a good solution
