Also is it possible to update the software of the main computer to recive any extra features?

No, it is not possible to alter the firmware to get "new" features. It is possible, however, to enable some of them that are disabled in a stock configuration, but this is usually pointless since your car should have the computer preset for the options installed at the factory.
In pre-2003 Coupes there was one issue that was not configured properly - sunroof "tunnel mode" which did not close/open the sunroof along with the windows when you press and hold the "recirc" button on the HVAC control panel. My dealer fixed it for free after I gave the technician a printout from this forum with detailed instructions.
The C-Coupe manual in English can be downloaded here:

If yours is a sedan, this would be of little help - but still may shed some light since most contols and operation/maintenance procedures are the same between the coupe and the sedan.
