Hey Bushy, welcome to a5oc.
The ipod issue may be related to the cable. The cable changed from MY2008 to MY2009 so you need to make sure you have a MY2009 cable. This has been discussed in other threads and the part number you need is listed somewhere.
As for the DRLs it sounds like someone made a cock-up somewhere along the line. I don't think they were ever removed as an option. I assume you are not paying for them as they would have made the car £775 more expensive. Did the leasing cost change as a result of them not being on the car ? If they are on your order confirmation I would think you could ask your leasing firm to have them retrofitted but then you will have to pay over the 3 years. For me the car is not the same without DRLs so I would think it's worth pushing for them.
Good luck and let us know how you get one.
